Pre-Lab 1: Single Phase Diode Rectifiers: ECE401: Power Electronics

This document provides instructions for a pre-lab on single phase diode rectifiers. Students are asked to complete calculations for a full-wave diode rectifier circuit with DC-side capacitor filter and resistive load. The calculations include using an iterative method to determine voltage and current values, calculating RMS and peak output and capacitor currents, input power factor, and other circuit parameters. Students must complete the pre-lab calculations and submit them at the beginning of the lab period in order to participate in the lab.
