10. TYPE OF RECTIFIER
Types of rectifiers
The rectifiers are mainly
classified into two types:
Half wave rectifier
Full wave rectifier
11. HALF WAVE RECTIFIER
As the name suggests, the half
wave rectifier is a type of
rectifier which converts half of
the AC input signal (positive half
cycle) into pulsating DC output
signal and the remaining half
signal (negative half cycle) is
blocked or lost. In half wave

2. Transformer requirement: Not essential
3. Average value of current, Idc: Imax/pi
4. Rms value of current, Irms: Imax/2
5. Peak inverse voltage (PIV): Vmax
6. Peak load current, Imax: Vmax/(Rload + Rf)
7. Dc output voltage, Vdc: Idc x Rload

14. Peak factor: 2
14. FULL WAVE RECTIFIER
The full wave rectifier is a type
of rectifier which converts the
full AC input signal (positive half
cycle and negative half cycle) to
pulsating DC output signal.
Unlike the half wave rectifier,
the input signal is not wasted in
full wave rectifier. The efficiency

17. BRIDGE RECTIFIER
The Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
Another type of circuit that produces the same
output waveform as the full wave rectifier circuit
above, is that of the Full Wave Bridge
Rectifier. This type of single phase rectifier
uses four individual rectifying diodes connected
in a closed loop “bridge” configuration to
produce the desired output.

20. FILTER CIRCUIT
A filter circuit is a device to remove the
A.C components of the rectified output, but
allows the D.C components to reach the
load. A filter circuit is in general a
combination of inductor (L) and Capacitor
(C) called LC filter circuit. A capacitor
allows A.C only and inductor allows D.C
only to pass.
