    This document summarizes a textbook chapter on basic rectifier circuits. It outlines the four most common rectifier circuits: half-wave, full-wave bridge, three-phase half-wave, and three-phase full-wave. It discusses parameters of rectification like ripple factor and DC voltage. It then provides more details on how half-wave, full-wave bridge, three-phase half-wave, and three-phase full-wave rectifiers work. The document concludes with discussing filtering rectifier output using capacitors and inductors, and providing an example calculation for ripple factor of a half-wave rectifier.

    RECTIFIER CIRCUIT

    • Coverts AC power to DC power


    • Four most common rectifier circuit:
    – Half-wave rectifier
    – Full-wave bridge rectifier
    – Three-phase half-wave rectifier
    – Three-phase full-wave rectifier
    PARAMETERS OF RECTIFICATION

    • Ripple factor
    – Small or large?
    • DC Voltage
    • Difficulty in calculating the Vac,rms
    • Ripple factor without RMS
    HALF-WAVE RECTIFIER
    • Conducts positive half cycle and blocks negative half
    cycle
    • Inefficient. Why?
    • Contains ac waveform of 60Hz and its harmonics
    • Diode based rectification-Simplest form
    FULL-WAVE BRIDGE RECTIFIER
    • Utilizes both half cycles
    • More efficient
    • Contains ac waveform of 120 Hz and its harmonics
    • Diode bridge or bridge rectifier.
    THREE-PHASE HALF-WAVE RECTIFIER

    • In a three-phase supply, Half-wave rectification can be achieved


    with three diodes having their cathodes connected to a common
    point.
    • The diode with the largest voltage applied to it will conduct and the
    other two diodes will be reverse-biased.
    THREE-PHASE FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER

    • For three-phase AC, six diodes are used.


    • Two parts:
    – Highest of three phase voltages
    – Lowest of three phase voltages
    FILTERING RECTIFIER OUTPUT
    • Two types of elements are commonly used
    to smooth the rectifier's output:
    – Capacitors connected across the lines to
    smooth ac voltage changes
    – Inductors connected in series with the line to
    smooth ac current changes
    EXAMPLE 3-1
    • Calculate the ripple factor for the half-wave rectifier
    shown in Figure.
