    Uncontrolled Rectifiers

    Uploaded by

    Masud Sarker
    This document discusses various types of uncontrolled diode rectifiers. It begins by explaining that a rectifier converts AC to DC and noting that power only flows from the AC source to the DC side. Applications mentioned include power supplies for electronics. Rectifiers are classified as single phase or three phase. Several circuit diagrams of single phase half wave, full wave, and bridge rectifiers are shown along with their important equations and waveforms. A three phase bridge rectifier circuit and waveforms are also provided.

    Note: In a diode rectifiers, the power flows only from the AC source to the DC
    side.
    Applications of Uncontrolled Rectifiers
    • DC power supply for consumer electronic products such as radios, TVs,
    DVD players, mobile phone chargers, computers, laptops and so on (low
    power)
    • DC motor drives (high power)

    Depending on the type of input source, rectifiers are classified into two main
    groups:

    Half-wave
    Single phase
    Full-wave
    Uncontrolled
    rectifier
    Half-wave
    Three phase
    Full-wave

    Single-phase half-wave rectifier (RL load) without
    freewheeling diode
    Due to inductive load, the conduction period of the diode D1 will extend
    beyond 180 degree until the current becomes zero.

    The average value of the load current

    The average value of the output voltage (and hence the current) can be
    increased by making θ=0, which is possible by adding a freewheeling diode
    Dm across the load.

    Waveforms

    The effect of the freewheeling diode Dm is to prevent the negative voltage


    appearing across the load, and as a result, the magnetic stored energy is
    increased. At t=π/ω, the current from D1 is transferred to Dm and this process
    is called commutation of diodes. Depending on the load time constant, the
    load current may be discontinuous.

    Single-phase bridge full-wave rectifier (RL load)

    With a resistive load, the load current


    is identical in shape to the load
    voltage.
    In practical applications, most loads
    are inductive. The load current shape
    and magnitude depend on both the
    load resistance R and inductance L.
