Introduction
In this lab we have gone through the Implementation of single phase full-wave rectifier in MATLAB
Simulink using R (resistive) and RL (resistive, inductive) loads. Also perform the analysis using RL load
and freewheeling diode (FWD). Here we have implemented Single Phase full-wave rectifier with Three
different types of loads i.e., R load (pure Resistive), RL load (Resistive and inductive load) and FWD
(using a free-wheeling diode). We will implement the given Above three circuits with three different
values for each (i.e., for 20v,30v and 40v).

Figure 4.1.2 output of R circuit with Vs=20v

Discussion:
We notice in the above simulation that the full wave rectifier change the negative half cycle to positive
when we applied ac source 20 voltage it covert all the cycles of ac source to positive cycle.

Discussion:
We have seen that the result from center tapped transformer and bridge rectifiers are same

3. Conclusion

In this lab we concluded that when working with inductive load If we increase the load
inductance until it is much larger than R, the ripple across the load becomes small. If we assume
an infinite load inductance, the load current becomes constant and gives us a graph like DC
current.
