Procedure:
HWR without Filter:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram of the rectifier without filter.
2. Connect the primary side of the transformer to ac mains and the secondary side to the
rectifier input.
1. Note down the no load voltage before applying the load to the Circuit and by using the
Multimeter, measure the ac input voltage of the rectifier and its frequency.
2. Now Vary the RL in steps and note down the load voltage (VL) using the multimeter for each
value of RL and calculate the percentage regulation.
3. Measure the AC and DC voltage at the output of the rectifier for each value of RL using
Multimeter.
4. Now observe the output waveform on CRO across RL and find out value of Vm.
 5. Now calculate Vdc, Vrms, Ripple Factor and other parameters of half wave rectifier
according to the given formulae.
6. Measure the amplitude and time period of the transformer secondary (input waveform) by
connecting CRO.
7. Feed the rectified output voltage to the CRO and measure the time period and amplitude of
the waveform.
HWR With Capacitor Filter:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram of the rectifier with filter.
2. Connect the primary side of the transformer to ac mains and the secondary side to the
rectifier input.
3. By the multimeter, measure the ac input voltage of the rectifier and, ac and dc voltage at
the output of the rectifier.
4. Measure the amplitude and time period of the transformer secondary (input waveform) by
connecting CRO.
5. Feed the rectified output voltage to the CRO and measure the time period and amplitude of
the waveform.
