  2. Diode Rectifiers This presentation describes the application of diode rectifier circuits. It covers single-phase rectifier circuits. The objectives of this presentation are: • To enable the readers to understand the operation of typical rectifier circuits. • To enable the readers to appreciate the different qualities of rectifiers required for different applications.

  3. Single-phase Diode Rectifiers There are two types of single-phase diode rectifier that convert a single-phase ac supply into a dc voltage, namely, single phase half-wave rectifiers and single-phase full-wave rectifiers. In the following subsections, the operations of these rectifier circuits are examined and their performances are analyzed and compared .`

  4. Single-phase Half-wave Rectifiers The simplest single-phase diode rectifier is the single-phase half-wave rectifier. A single-phase half-wave rectifier with resistive load is shown in Fig.(1). The circuit consists of only one diode that is usually fed with a secondary transformer as shown in Fig(1). During the positive half-cycle of the transformer secondary voltage, diode Dconducts. During the negative half-cycle, diode Dstops conducting. the voltage and current waveforms of resistive load R and the voltage waveform of diode D are shown in Fig. (2). Fig (1) Fig(2)

  5. Single-phase Full-wave Rectifiers There are two types of single-phase full-wave rectifier, namely,full-wave rectifiers with center-tapped transformer and bridge rectifiers. A full-wave rectifier with a center-tapped transformer is shown in Fig. (3). It is clear that each diode, together with the associated half of the transformer, acts as a half-wave rectifier. The outputs of the two half-wave rectifiers are combined to produce full-wave rectification in the load. The voltage and current waveforms of the full-wave rectifier are shown in Fig. (4). By observing diode voltage waveforms vD1 and vD2 in Fig. (4), it is clear that the PIV of the diodes is equal to 2Vmduring their blocking state. Fig (3) Fig (4)

  6. Single-phase Full-wave Rectifiers A bridge rectifier as shown in Fig. (5) can provide full-wave rectification without using a center-tapped transformer. During the positive half cycle of the transformer secondary voltage, the current flows to the load through diodes D1 and D2. During the negative halfcycle, D3 and D4 conduct. The voltage and current waveforms of the bridge rectifier are shown in Fig. (6). Fig(5) Fig(6)

  7. Performance Parameters The performance of the rectifiers mentioned above will be evaluated in terms of the following parameters: • The average value of the load voltage VLis Vdcand it is defined as:

  8. Performance Parameters • The root-mean-square (rms) value of load voltage vL is VL, which is defined as:

  9. Performance Parameters • The Form Factor (FF) is defined as the ratio of the root-mean-square value of a voltage or current to its average value.

  10. Performance Parameters • The ripple factor (RF), which is a measure of the ripple content, is defined as:
