Experiment 08
Single-phase full wave uncontrolled rectifiers using power diodes

Objective:
To study single-phase full wave uncontrolled rectifiers using power diodes.

Apparatus:

• Function Generator
• Load resistance 1K
• Diodes IN4001
• DMM
• Oscilloscope

Theory:
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current
(DC), a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of
power supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers may be made of solid state diodes,
vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc valves, and other components.
In half wave rectification, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed,
while the other half is blocked. Because only one half of the input waveform reaches the
output, it is very inefficient if used for power transfer.
A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant
polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of
the input waveform to DC (direct current) and is more efficient.

Procedure:

1. First, make the circuit diagram.


2. According to the diagram make a bridge cut using 4 diodes on the breadboard
3. Connect Load across 2 ends of the bridge and at the other end.
4. On the supply (200v/50Hz) and connect the oscilloscope across load. Find out the Peak
value using the oscilloscope.
5. Calculate the average dc voltage. Also find VAC (average) using a DMM (Digital
multimeter).
6. Both values (calculated and observed) are approximately equal

Simulation Task:
Implement the above circuit diagram shown in figure 1 in multisim.
(a) Find the average DC voltage and Vpeak voltage at output at firing angle=0.
(b) Attach the output waveform and multisim circuit diagram.
Formula: Average voltage, Vdc= 2Vp/pi where Vp is the peak voltage which can be calculated
from the output form using voltage probe.
