Expt2 - Single Phase Uncontrolled (Diode) Rectifier

This experiment involves simulating and implementing a single phase uncontrolled (diode) rectifier circuit. The circuit converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) using a diode bridge rectifier. In the simulation, a resistive load is used first, then an inductive-resistive load is added. In the hardware implementation, the single phase diode bridge rectifier circuit with a resistive load and then an inductive-resistive load is built and the output voltage waveforms are observed. The goal is to study the performance of the rectifier circuit with different loads and understand the rectification process.

Experiment 2: Single Phase Uncontrolled (Diode) Rectifier

Introduction to the experiment


This experiment is aimed at converting AC (single phase) to DC using a diode (uncontrolled)
rectifier. The circuit is implemented in simulation as well as hardware and the performance is
studied.

Learning Outcomes:
Operation and analysis of a single phase rectifier for various loads

Introduction to diode rectifier


A rectifier is a circuit used to convert AC voltage to DC voltage. There are two types of rectifier
circuits: uncontrolled and controlled. An uncontrolled rectifier does not have control on the output
voltage. The switch used in this case will be a diode.
There are two types of uncontrolled rectifiers: This section emphasizes the single phase full wave
bridge diode rectifier. The rectifier is as depicted in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 represents the Full wave
rectifier waveform.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

During the positive half cycle of the input supply, the diodes D1 and D2 are conducting, and
the output voltage is as depicted in Fig. 2. During the negative half cycle diodes D 3 and D4
conduct. Since the load is resistive, the output voltage follows the input.
