SIMULATION OF FULL WAVE RECTIFIER (CENTER TAPPED AND BRIDGE)

Aim:
To simulate Full Wave Rectifier (Center Tapped and Bridge) with RL load using
MATLAB software.

Apparatus Required:
PC loaded with MATLAB software

Theory:
A full wave rectifier is defined as a rectifier that converts the complete cycle of
alternating current into pulsating DC. The circuit of the full wave rectifier can be
constructed in two ways. The first method uses a centre tapped transformer and two
diodes. This arrangement is known as a centre tapped full wave rectifier. The second
method uses a standard transformer with four diodes arranged as a bridge. This is known
as a bridge rectifier. A centre tapped full wave rectifier is a type of rectifier that uses a
centre tapped transformer and two diodes to convert the complete AC signal into DC
signal.

Simulation of Single-Phase Half Wave Controlled Converter with RL Load and Free
Wheeling Diode

Aim:
To simulate Single-Phase Half Wave Controlled Converter with RL Load and
Free Wheeling Diode using MATLAB software.

Apparatus Required:
PC loaded with MATLAB software

Theory:
Single-phase half wave controlled rectifier means that the single SCR is used to convert
the ac to dc. During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, thyristor T1 is forward
biased and current flows through the load when the thyristor is fired, at ԝt=α. The
thyristor conducts only when the anode is positive with respect to cathode and a positive
gate signal is applied, otherwise, it remains in the forward blocking state and blocks the
flow of the load current. In the negative half cycle, i.e., at wt =π, the thyristor is in the
reverse biased condition and no current flows through the load. Thus, varying the firing
angle at which the thyristor starts conducting in positive half controls the average dc
output voltage cycle.

Procedure:
1. Start the Matlab software.

Simulation of Single-Phase Full Wave Controlled Converter with RL Load and Free
Wheeling Diode

Aim:
To simulate Single-Phase Half Wave Controlled Converter with RL Load and
Free Wheeling Diode using MATLAB software.

Apparatus Required:
PC loaded with MATLAB software

Theory:
A single-phase fully controlled converter circuit consists of four thyristors as shown in
circuit diagram, with a RL load. During the positive half cycle thyristors T1and T2 are
in the forward blocking state and when these thyristors fire simultaneously at wt =α, the
load is connected to the input through T1 and T2. During negative half cycle i.e., after
wt =π, thyristor T3 and T4 are in the forward blocking state, and simultaneous
firing of these thyristors reverse biases the previously conducting thyristors T1 and T2.
These reverse biased thyristors turn off due to line or natural commutation and the load
current transfers from T1and T2 to T3 and T4.
