Power Electronics: Lab Manual

This document is a lab manual for a power electronics course. It describes simulations and calculations for a half wave diode rectifier and a single bridge rectifier. The objectives are to analyze the waveforms of the rectifiers. It includes OrCad simulations and graphs of the rectified waveforms, as well as calculations of input current, RMS current, total harmonic distortion, displacement factor, and power factor. It also describes using a zener diode circuit to reduce the rectified voltage for loads requiring less than 100mA. The conclusion is that the student learned to simulate and calculate characteristics of half wave and bridge rectifiers in OrCad PSpice.

ANOTHER RECTIFICATION CIRCUIT:


We can use it when the voltage rectified to the ends of the capacitor is too high for load and we need to
decrease it. This is done for circuits that provide to the load up to 100mA. The Zener diode, which must
be inversely biased (cathode positive and anode negative) has a voltage drop which is typical of that
specific Zener. In this case voltage drop is about 3V, but for other diodes can reach 100V or more. The
characteristic of Zener is such that for variations on the current that flows in it, its voltage drop remains
constant. The basic parameters of a Zener diode are its Zener current Iz, its voltage drop of Zener Vz and
of course the power Wz that it can dissipate and will be given by product Vz * Iz. If we apply to the Zener
diode a reverse voltage greater than Vz, obviously we' ll have place a resistance equal to (Vin-Vz)/Iz, where
Vin is the voltage that we apply.
