EDC Mini Project

This document summarizes a student mini-project on a full wave rectifier circuit. It was submitted by four students (Shivam Mandal, Vicky Pawar, Debasis Nayak, and Krunal Luste) under the guidance of Prof. Rashmi Maheshwari. The document introduces full wave rectification and describes the components, theory of operation, and conclusion of the full wave bridge rectifier circuit built by the students. It explains that a full wave rectifier uses both half-cycles of the AC input to produce DC output, while a half wave rectifier only uses one half-cycle, making it more efficient.

INTRODCTION
A Full wave rectifier is a circuit arrangement
which makes use of both half cycles of input
alternating current (AC) and converts them to
direct current (DC). In our tutorial on Half wave
rectifiers, we have seen that a half wave rectifier
makes use of only one-half cycle of the input
alternating current. Thus a full wave rectifier is
much more efficient (double+) than a half wave
rectifier. This process of converting both half
cycles of the input supply (alternating current) to
direct current (DC) is termed full wave
rectification.
Full wave rectifier can be constructed in 2 ways.
The first method makes use of a centre tapped
transformer and 2 diodes. This arrangement is
known as Center Tapped Full Wave Rectifier.
The second method uses a normal transformer
with 4 diodes arranged as a bridge. This
arrangement is known as a Bridge Rectifier.
COMPONENTS

• Step down transformer-1 (230V to 12V


or 110V to 12V)

• Diodes-4 (1N4007)
• Capacitor-1 (470µF)
• Led-1 (Red)
• Resistor-1 (1K)

THEORY
The working & operation of a full wave bridge
rectifier is pretty simple. The circuit diagrams
and waveforms we have given below will help
you understand the operation of a bridge rectifier
perfectly. In the circuit diagram, 4 diodes are
arranged in the form of a bridge. The transformer
secondary is connected to two diametrically
opposite points of the bridge at points A & C.
The load resistance RL is connected to bridge
through points B and D.
The full wave rectifier circuit consists of two
power diodes connected to a single load
resistance (RL) with each diode taking it in turn to
supply current to the load resistor. When point A
of the transformer is positive with respect to point
A, diode D1 conducts in the forward direction as
indicated by the arrows.When point B is positive
in the negative half of the cycle with respect to C
point, the diode D2 conducts in the forward
direction and the current flowing through resistor
R is in the same direction for both half-cycles of
the wave.
CONCLUSION

Hence by using full wave rectifier, we have on the
