Diode Rectifiers:: Chapter#2: Rectifier Circuits

This document discusses rectifier circuits, which convert AC power to DC power using diodes. A single-phase half-wave uncontrolled rectifier uses a diode to allow current to flow through the load only when the AC voltage is positive. The average DC output voltage and current can be calculated. The output current has both transient and steady-state components that can be modeled mathematically using Laplace transforms.

Chapter#2: Rectifier Circuits

Diode Rectifiers:

Rectifiers with diodes are used to convert the input AC power into output DC power in an
uncontrolled manner. So, the rectifier is a circuit that converts AC input voltage to DC output
voltage. A rectifier employing diodes is called an uncontrolled rectifier, because its average
output voltage is a fixed DC voltage.

For simplicity, the diode is considered as an ideal switch. So, an ideal diode has no forward
voltage drop and reverse recovery time is negligible.

The DC output voltage of a rectifier should be as ripple free as possible. Therefore, a large
capacitor is connected as a filter on the DC side of the rectifier.

Single-phase half-wave uncontrolled rectifier:-


1) When the load is resistive:-

The average value of output voltage (load voltage):

The power delivered to the resistive load:

2) With RL load:-

The average value of output voltage:

∴ = (1 − cos >)

Therefore, the average value of output current:

A general expression for output current (@ ) for > > > 0 when diode is conducting will be:-

7F0
C. @ + E. 7$
= . sin

So, the output current consists of two components: the transient component (@$ ) and the steady
state component (@G ) as follows:-

@G = . sin( − K)
H3 I(#J)

#J
Where, K = tan ( 3 )

To find the transient component of output current, we need to use the Laplace transform
assuming all initial conditions are zero on the following equation:-

7FN
C. @$ + E. =0
7$

the solution of previous differential equation will be:-

QR
.$
@$ ( ) = O. P S

Now, the total solution of output current is:-

QR
.$
@ = @G + @$ = . sin( − K) + O. P S
H3 I(#J)

QR
∴@ ( )= . sin( − K) + O. P S .$
H3 I(#J)

By applying the boundary conditions when = 0, we can find the value of A constant:-

0= . sin(K) + O
H3 I(#J)

∴O= . sin(K)
H3 I(#J)

Therefore:-

QR
@ = sin( − K) + sin(K ) . P S .$
H3 I(#J)
