MEASUREMENT OF RIPPLE FACTOR FOR FULL WAVE RECTIFIERS

AIM:
To study the ripple factor and regulation characteristics of a full wave rectifier.

EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED:

[Link]. NAME OF THE RANGE QUANTITY


EQUIPMENT
1. Transformer 12v-0v-12v 1
2. Capacitor 2
0.1 µF
3. Resistor 1
4. PN junction diode 2
IN 4007
5. Bread Board - 1
-
6. CRO 1

FORMULA USED:
Ripple Factor, = (Vrms / Vdc)2 - 1
Where, Vrms = The rms value of the a.c component of the output voltage
Vdc = The average or d.c value of the output voltage.

FULL WAVE RECTIFIER:

Vrms = Vm/ 2
Theory:
A rectifier is defined as a electronic device used for converting AC voltage into
unidirectional voltage. A rectifier utilizes unidirectional conduction devices like Vacuum diode
or PN junction diode.
