    This document provides instructions for a lab exercise on studying half-wave rectifiers (HWR) and full-wave rectifiers (FWR). Students will construct HWR and FWR circuits using components like a transformer, diodes, resistors, and a capacitor. They will analyze the output waveforms with and without a filter capacitor. The objectives are to understand rectifier circuit operation and analyze rectifier output ripple voltage. Students will calculate ripple factor and efficiency, then answer questions about rectifier theory and a sample circuit.

    Lab exercise # 2

    Title: To study rectifiers: HWR and FWR

    Objective: 1) To construct a HWR and FWR rectifier circuits and analyse their outputs.
    2) To analyse the rectifier outputs using a capacitor as a filter.

    Components and equipments: A step-down transformer, 2PN junction diodes (1N 4007),
    resistors (1K and 10K), Capacitor (100uF), Oscilloscope, Multimeters, Connecting wires,
    Breadboard.

    Introduction: Half-wave rectifier circuit is unsuitable to applications which need a "steady


    and smooth" dc supply voltage. One method to improve on this is to use every half-cycle of
    the input voltage instead of every other half-cycle. The circuit which allows us to do this is
    called a Full-wave Rectifier. Here, unidirectional current flows in the output for both the
    cycles of input signal and rectifies it. The rectification can be done either by a centre tap full
    wave rectifier (using two diodes) or a full wave bridge rectifier (using four diodes).
    In this experiment we will study ripple behaviour of HWR and FWR.
    The ripple voltage i.e. Vr is given by Vr = [Vp/(f.RL.C)] where, Vp is peak output voltage,
    RL is load resistance and C is filter capacitor.

    Procedures:
    i) Configure the half wave and full-wave rectifier circuit as shown in the circuit
    diagram. Note down all the values of the components being used.

    ii) Connect the primary side of the transformer to the a.c. Mains and secondary to the
    input of the circuit.

    iii) Feed the input and output to the oscilloscope

    iv) Calculate the ripple factor and efficiency.

    v) Connect the capacitor across the output for each load resistor. Measure the output
    voltages once again and calculate the ripple factor.

    Result: At the end of this lab exercise, one should be able to implement, analyse and
    calculate parameters of full wave rectifier with and without capacitor.

    1. For HWR :
    Ripple voltage if R is 1K = ……………………. and 10 K= …………………………

    2. For FWR :
    Ripple voltage if R is 1K = ……………………. and 10 K= …………………………

    Conclusion: To be written by students in record.
