Experiment # 2: Controlled Half-Wave Rectifier: Supervisor: Section: Date

This document describes an experiment using a controlled half-wave rectifier circuit. The experiment involves: 1) Connecting resistive and inductive loads and measuring voltage, current, and power values at firing angles of 30 and 90 degrees. 2) Sketching voltage and current waveforms and deriving equations related to output voltage. 3) Using an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier with a capacitor filter and measuring output voltage and ripple.
