SAAD BIN MERAJ LAB-03 2016-EL 2B-077

Experiment: 03
 OBJECT:
To Study the half wave rectifier circuit.

 APPARATUS:
 Connecting wires  Digital multi meter.
 Silicon diode (1N400).  Oscilloscope.
 Crocodile wires  Jumper.
 1K Ohm resistor.
 Transformer AC Centre tapped (Triad F-25X or equivalent) with fuse line cord.

 THEORY:

The basic rectifier circuit are half wave, full wave & bridge. The ripple frequency of half
wave rectifier circuit is equal to the input frequency. For a given transformer the unfiltered
output of the half wave & full wave rectifier ideally has a DC value of slightly less than half the
RMS secondary voltage. In this experiment, you will build a type of rectifier & measures their
input/output characteristics. Be careful when connecting the transformer line voltage. The
transformer should have aa fused line cord with all primary connections isolated to avoid electric
shock.
 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

 QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS:
Transformer:
A Transformer is a power converter that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another
through inductively coupled conductors-the transformer’s coils. A varying current in the first or
primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer’s core and thus a varying
magnetic field through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic field induces a varying
electromotive force (EMF), or “voltage”, in the secondary winding. This effect is called
inductive coupling.

Half Wave Rectifier:


It converts low level AC signal to DC signal & gives 50% cycle.

Step Up Transformer:
A Step up transformer is one whose secondary voltage is greater than its primary voltage. TJ*c
kind of transformer “steps up” the voltage applied to it.

Step Down Transformer:


A step down transformer is one whose primary voltage is greater than its secondary voltage.

 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS:
FORMULA:

VL=Vin-VD
 PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the Circuit. Measure the RMS voltage across the secondary winding & record in
observation table.
2. Measure & record DC load voltage across 1K-Ω load resistor.
3. Use an Oscilloscope to look at rectified voltage across 1K-Ω resistor. Record the peak
voltage of half wave signal. Next measure the period of the rectified output. Calculate the
ripple frequency & record the result in table.
4. Calculate the peak output voltage across 1K-Ω load resistor. Also calculate the output
voltage & ripple frequency. Record your calculations.
