FULL WAVE RECTIFIERS


AIM:

To sketch the output wave forms of either center tapped rectifier (or) Bridge rectifier for
variable resistive load.
APPARATUS:
[Link] Equipment Qty Range
1. Transformer 1 15-0-15V

2. Diode 2 IN4007

3. Decade Resistance Box 1

4. DSO 1 50MHz

5. Bread Board 1

6. Single Stand Wires Adequate

THEORY:
Any electrical device, which offers a low resistance to current in one direction but the high
resistance to the current in the opposite direction, is called rectifier. They can convert a sinusoidal
input waveform into a Uni-directional waveform.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit diagram as shown in figure.1
2. Note down the secondary transformer voltage value by observing the waveform in the DSO.
3. First note down the No-load voltage Vdc and Vac corresponding to Idc=0.
4. Then increase the load current insteps of 5mA up to a maximum of 50 mA. At each value of
Idc note down the corresponding value Vdc, Vrms from the output waveforms.
5. Plot the output voltage waveforms of the full- wave rectifier for any two load currents and
evaluate the performance parameters as given in the table.
OBSERVATIONS:
%Regulation
[Link] RL (Ohms) Vdc (volts) Vrms (volts)
R ={(Vnl-Vl)/Vl} x100

MODEL GRAPHS:

DISCUSSIONS:
1. Define ripple factor?
2. List the applications of rectifier?
3. Mention the role of transformer in the rectifier circuit?
4. Define Peak inverse voltage?
