FULL WAVE RECTIFIER
Introduction :
A full wave rectifier is a device which is used to rectify all the alternating
current components in an alternating supply and make it purely a direct
current. The two alternating halves of an alternation current are rectified in a
full wave rectifier which is an advantage over a half wave rectifier. Most
electronic devices cannot withstand very high voltage or alternating current
due to its intense high power. The use of batteries in all devices is not
practical as their replacement and durability is a huge problem as the device
has to be dismantled each time for such a replacement. So these rectifiers are
used in most of the electronic devices like TV’s, Radios, Chargers, Lightings
etc. There are several stages in a rectifier. Based on their rectification they
are classified into two. The single staged & multi staged.
In the multi staged rectifiers, more than two diodes are used and these are
used in the above-mentioned devices. The singled staged rectifier has only 2
diodes, the one we are to discuss in this project. The multi diode rectifier has
only 2 diodes, the one we are to discuss in this project. The multi diode
rectifiers has an efficiency ~ 94.6% while that of the single is only 81.2%
Theory involved
The input transformer steps down the A.C mains from 230V (nominal) to 6V
between the center tap and either of the two ends of the secondary winding.
The transformer has a capability of delivering a current of 500 mA. The 6V
A.C appearing across the secondary is the RMS value of the waveform and
peak value would be 6 2 8.4volts. The diodes rectify the A.C waveform
appearing across the secondary with the help of alternate forward and
reverse biasing. The capacitor further filters 99% of the resident components
and this is let to pass through the resistance and emerges out as +ve and –ve.
The bulb connected verifies the output as it works on Direct Current and if
used on an Alternating Current, the fluctuation will burn out the bulb.

ix) A CAPACITOR
It does not dissipate any power & the energy stored in it equal to ½ CV 2 . In
a capacitor Voltage does not change instantaneously. It leads current &
voltage by an angle different of 900 .
The capacitor can be connected in 2 ways

2) In Parallel =

x) A Resistor
We determine the value of a resistor using the colour coding on the rings
of the resistor –
1. Black - 0 6. Green - 5
2. Brown –1 7. Blue - 6
3. Red -2 8. Violet - 7
4. Orange – 3 9. Grey - 8
5. Yellow – 4 10. White - 9
Tolerance
Gold - 5%
Silver - 10%
Colourless - 20%

Connection details
1st when the A.C. is supplied to the transformer, it steps down the
230V main supply to 6 volts. It has a capability of delivering a current
of 500mA. The 6 volts A.C. appearing across the secondary is the
RMS valur and the peak value is 6 2 or 8.4 volts. During the 1st
half cycle of the A.C. input Diode D1 is forward biased and a current
‘I’ flows in the circuit in the direction S1D1ABEOS1. During this
time diode D2 is reverse biased. So it does not conduct any electric
current. During the next half cycle the diode D2 is forward and D1 is
reversed. Hence D2 conducts current in the direction S2D2ABEOS2
and D1 does not conduct any current. In subsequent half cycles of the
A.C current the above processes are repeated. In both the half cycles
it is clear that current flows through the resistor in only one direction
ABE. Even though the voltage across RL is unidirectional it will still
contain a few A.C components. This is filtered and made smooth
using a capacitor, which filters 99% of the A.C current. A resistor is
then used to adjust the output voltage. We can then test the o/p Voltage
using a multi-meter.
