RECTIFIER

GUIDED BY: PRESENTED BY:

Mr. Sandip Pawar ABHISHEK PRAKASH
 RECTIFICATION
 Converting ac to dc is accomplished by the
process of rectification.

 Two processes are used:

Half-wave rectification;
Full-wave rectification.

 RIPPLE FACTOR

 The ac component present in the output of

an ac rectifier is called ripple factor.

 Smaller the ripple,the better is rectifier.

 Ripple factor = R M S value of ac component

Average or dc value
