ECE Center Tapped

The document outlines a laboratory activity focused on simulating half-wave, full-wave bridge, and full-wave center-tapped rectifiers. It details the objectives, circuit components, procedures, observations, and discussions regarding the performance of the rectifiers with varying load resistances. The results indicate that as resistance increases, input current decreases while output voltage remains relatively stable.

LABORATORY ACTIVITY
I. Objectives
-To simulate the circuit of a half-wave, full-wave bridge type, and full-wave center-
tapped rectifier and do some trials.
II. Overview of the topic
- A center tapped full wave rectifier is a type of rectifier which uses a center tapped
transformer and two diodes to convert the complete AC signal into DC signal. The
center tapped full wave rectifier is made up of an AC source, a center tapped
transformer, two diodes, and a load resistor.
III. Circuit components
- The center tapped full wave rectifier is made up of an AC source, a center tapped
transformer, two diodes, and a load resistor
IV. Circuit Diagram

V. Procedure
- Determine the transformer’s peak secondary voltage and the peak voltage across
the given resistors; connect one probe to the anode termina of the diode; connect the other
robe to one of the diode’s cathode terminals.
VI. Observation
A. Diode Specification: indicate whichever is available (internal resistance, saturation
current, capacitance)
B. Table:
TRIAL/S: LOAD INPUT OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) Efficiency
RESISTANCE CURRENT (%)
(mA) Vac Vdc 2Vmax/pi
(ohms)
1 50 104.278 20V 8.614 12.73V 79.27%
2 500 1.826 20V 1.52 12.73V 57.81%

3 1000 1.448 20V 2.01 12.73V 53.86%

VII. Input and output waveforms (generated from the simulation):


50 ohms

500 ohms

1000 ohms

VIII. Discussions:
- The voltage given is the same thus the only difference is the input current: the
higher the resistance the lower the input current. The change on Vdc is negligible
along with 2vmax/pi.
