Introduction:
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current, which periodically reverses
direction, to direct current, which flows in only one direction. The process is known as
Rectification, since it “straightens” the direction of current. Physically, rectifiers take a
number of forms, including vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc valves, stacks of copper and
selenium oxide plates, semiconductor diodes, silicon controlled rectifiers and other silicon
based semiconductors have been used. Early radio synchronous electromechanical switches
and motors have been used a “cat’s whisker” of fine wire pressing on a crystal of galena(load
sulfide) to serve as a point contact rectifier or “crystal detector”.

Performance Parameter of Full Wave Controlled Rectifier:

𝑽𝒅𝒄 = 𝑉𝑚/𝜋(1 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛼)
𝑰𝒅𝒄 = 𝑉𝑚/𝑅𝜋(1 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛼)

𝑽𝒓𝒎𝒔 = 𝑉𝑚 √𝜋 − 𝛼/2𝜋 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛼/4𝜋

𝑰𝒓𝒎𝒔 = 𝑉𝑚/𝑅 √𝜋 − 𝛼/2𝜋 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛼/4𝜋

𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 = 𝑉𝑟𝑚𝑠/𝑉𝑑𝑐
𝑹𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 = 𝑉𝑎𝑐/𝑉𝑑𝑐
𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝑼𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓:
𝑻𝑼𝑭 = 𝑃𝑑𝑐/ 𝑉𝑠𝐼𝑠
Here Vs is secondary RMS voltages of Transformer and Is is secondary RMS current of
Transformer.

Effect of inductive Load

When we will use inductor in the circuit the voltages will go in negative because of changing
the polarities of the inductor in negative cycle or in second cycle if we use free wheeling
diode then it will stop the voltages to go into negative region.

Conclusion:
In this lab we learn about full wave controlled Rectifiers we see what are the impact of load
on the output voltages of Rectifier and we also see the performance parameters of full wave
controlled rectifier.
