THEORY

The diode rectifier converts the input sinusoidal voltage V s to a unipolar output Vo. There are
two types of rectifier circuits: (i) Half-wave rectifier and (ii) Full-wave rectifier.

Half-wave rectifier:

The circuit of a half-wave rectifier is shown in Fig. (a).

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Fig. (a) Circuit diagram for half wave Rectifier


The input and output of the rectifier are drawn in Figure below. Diode conducts only when it is
forward biased. For Vs = Vm sint, DC voltage and current of a half wave rectifier are as
follows
VDC= Vm/ - (1/2)VD
IDC=(Vm/ - (1/2)VD)/R
where, VD  0.7 V.

PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage)

PIV is the peak reverse voltage that appears across the diode when it is reverse-biased.
PIV = Vm
Full-wave rectifier:

The bridge rectifier circuit is shown in Fig. (b).

Fig. (b) Circuit diagram for bridge rectifier

Figure below shows the input and output voltage as a function of time. Peak voltage across each
diode when it is reverse-biased.

PIV = Vm - VD

Ripple factor:

A rectifier converts alternating currents into a unidirectional current, periodically fluctuating


components still remaining in the output wave. A measure of the fluctuating component is given
by the ripple factor r, which is defined as
rms value of alternating components of wave
r
average value of wave
= I’rms /Idc = V’rms /Vdc

where, I’rms and V’rms denote the rms value of the ac components of the current and voltage,
respectively .
For a half-wave rectifier, r = 1.21
and for a full wave rectifier, r = 0.482

PROCEDURE FOR Half-wave and Full-wave rectifier:

1. Construct circuit of Fig. (a) without the capacitor. Observe Vi and Vo simultaneously
on the oscilloscope. Sketch input and output waveforms. Measures V o with multi-meter in dc
and ac mode.

2. Connect 1F capacitor across the load resistor. BE CAREFUL about the polarity of the
capacitor. Sketch input and output waveforms. Measure Vo with multi-meter.

3. Replace 1F Capacitor with 47F and repeat step 2.

4. Construct the circuit of Fig. (b) without the capacitor. Observe and sketch V i, Vo. DO NOT
TRY TO OBSERVE Vi, Vo SIMULTANEOUSLY (BECAUSE OSCILLOSCOPE’S 2
CHANNELS ARE INTERNALLY SHORT). Measure ac and dc components of V0 with
multi-meter.

5. Connect 1F capacitor as shown in Fig. (b) and repeat step 4.

6. Replace 1 F capacitor by 47F for Fig. (b) and repeat step 4.

REPORT of Half-wave and Full-wave rectifier

1. Calculate the ripple factors for the full wave bridge rectifier with and without capacitor and
compare with the ideal values.

2. Which capacitor acts as a better filter? Explain your answer.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the full wave center tapped and bridge
rectifier circuit?
