RESULT: The V-I characteristics and Regulation characteristics of a zener diode are observed.

EXPERIMENT -3
FULL WAVE RECTIFIER WITH AND WITHOUT FILTERS

AIM: 1. To obtain the load regulation and ripple factor of a full-wave rectifier by using
(a). without Filter
(b). with Filter
2. To observe the input and output waveforms of a full-wave rectifier.

APPARATUS:

S.No Name of the Apparatus Range Quantity


1 Diodes IN 4007 (Si) 2
2 Decade Resistance Box (1KΩ-10 KΩ) 1
3 Transformer 230 V AC 1
4 Capacitor 100µF 1
5 Bread Board
6 Digital Voltmeter (0-20)V (AC & DC) 2
7 Connecting Wires As Required

THEORY:
The circuit of a center-tapped full wave rectifier uses two diodes D1&D2.
During positive half cycle of secondary voltage (input voltage), the diode D1 is forward biased
and D2is reverse biased.
The diode D1 conducts and current flows through load resistor R L. During negative half
cycle, diode D2 becomes forward biased and D1 reverse biased. Now, D2 conducts and current
flows through the load resistor RL in the same direction. There is a continuous current flow
through the load resistor RL, during both the half cycles and will get unidirectional current as
show in the model graph. The difference between full wave and half wave rectification is that a
full wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one way) current to the load during the entire 360
degrees of the input signal and half-wave rectifier allows this only during one half cycle (180
degree).

PROCEDURE:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


2. Connect the primary side of the transformer to ac mains and the secondary side to the
rectifier input.
3. By using the multimeter, measure the ac input voltage of the rectifier and, ac and dc
voltage at the output of the rectifier.
4. Find the theoretical value of dc voltage by using the formula,
Vdc=2Vm/П
Where, Vm= √2Vrms, (Vrms=output ac voltage.)
5. Now, the Ripple factor is calculated by using the formula
Γ = ac output voltage (Vac)/dc output voltage (Vdc)

6. By increasing the value of the resistance from 1 KΩ to 10KΩ, the voltage across the load
(VL) and current (IL) flowing through the load are measured.
7. Draw a graph between load voltage (VL) and load current (IL) by taking VL on X-axis and
IL on y-axis.
8. From the value of no-load voltage (VNL), the % regulation is to be calculated from the
theoretical calculations given below.

THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS FOR RIPPLE FACTOR & % REGULATION:

(a) WITHOUT FILTER:

For a Full-Wave Rectifier,


Vrms=Vm/√2

Vdc=2Vm/П

Therefore, Ripple factor Γ=√ (Vrms/ Vdc )2 -1 = 0.482

% regulation = [(VNL-VFL)/VFL]*100

(b) WITH FILTER:

Ripple factor for a Full-Wave Rectifier is Γ=1/ (2√3 fRC).

Where f =50Hz

C =100µF

R= (1-10) KΩ

Therefore, for 1KΩ, Ripple factor, Γ = 0.0577

% regulation = [(VNL-VFL)/VFL]*100

OBSERVATIONS:

(a) WITH OUT FILTER:


VNL = V

(b) WITH FILTER: VNL = V

PRECAUTIONS:

S.No Resistance Vac(v) Vdc(v) Γ= Vac/ Vdc % Regulation
(KΩ)

1. The primary and secondary sides of the transformer should be carefully identified.
2. The polarities of the diode should be carefully identified.
3. While determining the % regulation, first Full load should be applied and then it should be
decremented in steps.

RESULT:
The Ripple factor and the % regulation for the Full-Wave Rectifier with and without filters are
calculated.
1. The Ripple factor of Full-Wave Rectifier without filter is
2. The Ripple factor of Full-Wave Rectifier with filter is
3. The % Regulation of Full-Wave Rectifier without filter is
4. The % Regulation of Full-Wave Rectifier with filter is
