Pre– Lab Questions

1. What is the importance of peak inverse voltage?


Ans-PIV is the maximum peak voltage that a diode can withstand in the reverse non-
conducting region. By withstand, it means that, upto this voltage the diode blocks
conduction of current in the reverse direction.

2. Why diodes are not operated in the breakdown region in rectifiers?


Ans- In breakdown region, a diode has a risk of getting damaged or burnt because the
magnitude of current flowing through it increases in an uncontrollable manner. That is why
didoes are not operated in the breakdown region in rectifiers.

3. What are the disadvantages of full wave rectifier circuit?


 It needs four diodes.
 The circuit is not suitable when a small voltage is required to be rectified. It
is because, in this case, the two diodes are connected in series and offer
double voltage drop due to their internal resistance.

4. What is meant by filter?


Ans-The filter is a device that allows passing the dc component of the load and blocks the
ac component of the rectifier output. Thus the output of the filter circuit will be a steady dc
voltage. The filter circuit can be constructed by the combination of components like
capacitors, resistors, and inductors.

5. Why R-C filters are suitable only for light loads?

Full wave rectifier
Theory
Another type of circuit that produces the same output as a full-wave rectifier is that of
the Bridge Rectifier. This type of single-phase rectifier uses 4 individual rectifying diodes
connected in a "bridged" configuration to produce the desired output but does not require a
special center tapped transformer, thereby reducing its size and cost. The single secondary
winding is connected to one side of the diode bridge network and the load to the other side.
The 4 diodes labeled D arranged in "series pairs" with only two diodes conducting current
during each half cycle. During the positive half cycle of the supply, diodes D1 and D2
conduct in se D3 and D4 are reverse biased and the current flows through the load as shown
below . During the negative half cycle of the supply, diodes D3 and D4 conduct in series, but
diodes D1 and D2 switch of as they are now reverse biased. The current flowing through the
load is the same direction as before.

Post – Lab Questions
1. What are the advantages of full wave rectifier?
 The ripple frequency is two times the input frequency.
 Efficiency is higher.
 The large DC power output.
 Ripple factor is less.
 The ripple voltage is low and the higher frequency in case full-wave rectifier so simple filtering
circuit is required.
 Higher output voltage.
 Higher transformer utilization factor.
 Utilizes both halves of the AC waveform.
 Easier to provide smoothing as a result of using the ripple frequency.

 
 
 2. Define ripple as referred to in a rectifier circuit

 3. Why is it necessary to include voltage stabilizer in a power supply?


Ans-. The basic purpose of a Voltage Stabilizer is to protect costly and
precious electrical electronic equipments like air conditioners, offset printing
machines, laboratory equipments, industrial machines, and medical apparatus from
the probable damage due to Voltage Surges, fluctuations,
Over/Under Voltage conditions.

 4.Why is bleeder resistance employed in a filter circuit?


Ans- The bleeder resistors are used to connect it with parallel to the filter capacitor. Once
the device is turned OFF, some amount of charge is stored inside the capacitor. This
charged capacitor may discharge through the person

 5. What is meant by voltage regulation of a dc power supply?


Ans- Voltage regulation is the measure of how well a power transformer can maintain
constant secondary voltage given a constant primary voltage and wide variance in load
current. The lower the percentage (closer to zero), the more stable the
secondary voltage and the better the regulation it will provide.
