The primary and secondary voltages of transformer are related as V2/V1=N2/N1V1= rms primary voltage

V2=rms secondary voltageN1= no of turns in primary coilN2=no of turns in secondary coil

•During +ve half cycle the diode is forward biased.•Therefore a current IL flows through load resistor RL. In forward bias ,the voltage drop across the diode is very small (0.7V for Si and 0.3V for Ge).•For practical purposes we assume that the diode is ideal so the voltage drop is zero

•During –ve half cycle the diode is reverse biased•Therefore the diode does not conduct and hence no current flows IL=0•And hence V0=0

Diode Ratings1. Current Handling Capacity.2. Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV ): It is the

largest reverse voltage that is expected to appear across the diode. Usually, diodes are selected which have VZ at least 50 % greater than PIV.

Filter CircuitsThe output of a rectifier is not purely dc. It

also has some ac components, called ripples.The ripples are maximum in half-wave

rectifier, and are less in full-wave rectifierFilter circuit converts pulsating output of a

rectifier into a steady dc level.Filters simply smoothen out the ripples.

22-04-23 11:44 AM Rectifiers 30

There are two ways to do it :1. Ripples are bypassed around a the load by

using a shunt capacitor.2. Ripples can be limited to a low value by a

series inductor. A filter circuit is generally a

combination of capacitors and inductors.

22-04-23 11:44 AM Rectifiers 31

Filtering action depends upon the fact that:Capacitor allows ac only to pass.Inductor allow dc only to pass.

Shunt Capacitor Filter

22-04-23 11:44 AM Rectifiers 33

Operation of Capacitor Filter

During the conduction period, the capacitor gets charged and stores energy.

During the non-conduction period, the capacitor discharges through the load resistance delivering energy to it.

Capacitor gets charged to the peak value quickly because charging time constant is almost zero.

22-04-23 11:44 AM Rectifiers 34

Discharging time constant is quite large, because it discharges through the load resistance.

As XC << RL, the ripples are bypassed through the capacitor and only dc component flows through the load resistance.
