FULL WAVE RECTIFIER WITH AND WITHOUT

CAPACITOR
DEFINATION
◦ A full wave rectifier is defined as a rectifier that converts the complete cycle of alternating current into
pulsating DC. Unlike halfwave rectifiers that utilize only the halfwave of the input AC cycle, full wave
rectifiers utilize the full cycle.
Working of full wave rectifier

◦ Rectification: Converts AC to pulsating DC by allowing current


flow in both halves of the AC cycle using diodes.
◦ Bridge Configuration: Often employs a bridge rectifier with four
diodes to ensure full-wave rectification.
◦ Output Voltage: Produces a pulsating DC output with twice the
frequency of the input AC.

Types of full wave rectifier
Bridge rectifier
Center tapped full wave rectifier
◦ This type of bridge rectifier utilizes
◦ It uses a center-tapped transformer four diodes arranged in a bridge
and two diodes to rectify AC, configuration allowing for AC to DC

Full wave rectifier with capacitor filter
◦ The main function of full wave rectifier is to convert an AC into DC. As the name
implies, this rectifier rectifies both the half cycles of the i/p AC signal, but the DC signal
acquired at the o/p still have some waves. To decrease these waves at the o/p this
filter is used.
◦ In the full wave rectifier circuit using a capacitor filter, the
capacitor C is located across the RL load resistor. The working of
this rectifier is almost the same as a half wave rectifier. The only
dissimilarity is half wave rectifier has just one-half cycles (positive
or negative) whereas in full wave rectifier has two cycles (positive
and negative).
◦ Once the i/p AC voltage is applied throughout the positive half
cycle, then the D1 diode gets forward biased and permits flow of
current while the D2 diode gets reverse biased & blocks the flow
of current.
