Simulation of Half Wave Rectification with Filter
Aim of the experiment:
Explain Half Wave Rectification
Theory:
Rectification
A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a
process known as rectification. Rectifiers are essentially of two types – a half wave
rectifier and a full wave rectifier.
Half Wave Rectification
On the positive cycle the diode is forward biased and on the negative cycle the diode
is reverse biased. By using a diode we have converted an AC source into a pulsating
DC source. In summary we have ‘rectified’ the AC signal.
The simplest kind of rectifier circuit is the half-wave [Link] half-wave rectifier is
a circuit that allows only part of an input signal to pass. The circuit is simply the
combination of a single diode in series with a resistor, where the resistor is acting as a
load.
Half Wave Rectifiers – Waveforms:
The output DC voltage of a half wave rectifier can be calculated with the following
two ideal equations.
Half Wave Rectification:For Positive Half Cycle:
Diode is forward biased, acts as a short circuit, passes the waveform through.
For positive half cycle:
Half Wave Rectification:For Negative Half Cycle:
Diode is reverse biased, acts as a open circuit, does not pass the waveform through.
For negative half cycle;
Half wave Rectification:For an Ideal Diode:
Average output voltage:
Ripple Factor:
Peak Inverse Volatge:
For rectifier applications, peak inverse voltage (PIV) or peak reverse voltage (PRV) is
the maximum value of reverse voltage which occurs at the peak of the input cycle
when the diode is [Link] portion of the sinusoidal waveform which
repeats or duplicates itself is known as the cycle. The part of the cycle above the
horizontal axis is called the positive half-cycle, the part of the cycle below the
horizontal axis is called the negative half cycle. With reference to the amplitude of the
cycle, the peak inverse voltage is specified as the maximum negative value of the
sine-wave within a cycle's negative half cycle.
