    Lab – 1: Single Phase Half Wave Uncontrolled

    Rectifier with R and RL load

    OBJECTIVE:
     Students will be given some instructions on trainer safety, efficiency and heating.
     To become familiar with the functionality of diodes in circuits.

    measure the DC output voltages of half-wave appearing as a result of rectification.

    REVIEW OF THEORY:
    Rectification is a process of conversion of AC to DC. In half-wave rectifier, only one
    diode is used. During positive half Cycle the diode is forward biased and it conducts current
    through the load resistor R. During negative half cycle diode is reverse biased. Hence, no current

    ELEN-01629 Power Electronics Lab Page |1


    flow through the circuit. Only positive half cycle appears across the load, whereas, the negative
    half cycle is suppressed. The half-wave voltage signal normally established by a network with a
    single diode, has an average or equivalent DC voltage level equal to 31.8% of the peak voltage
    Vm. That is

    Average value of output voltage = Vdc = 0.318 .Vm


    RMS value of output voltage = Vrms= Vm/2
    Average value of output current = Idc = Vdc/R
    RMS value of output current = Irms = Vrms/R
    Output DC power Pdc = Vdc×Idc
    Output AC power Prms = Vrms×Irms

    Efficiency:
    It is the measure of effectiveness of a rectifier circuit, i.e. 𝜼 =Pdc/ Pac

    Form Factor:
    It is the measure of shape of output voltage, i.e. F.F=Vrms/Vdc

    Ripple Factor:
    It is the measure of ripple
    content, i.e. R.F=Vac/Vdc
    Now in the above circuit just
    change the series resistive
    branch with RL branch and then
    give the any desired and
    reasonable values to the
    components and then simulate
    the circuit and view the Figure 1 – 1: Half-Wave Uncontrolled Rectifier Circuit with R-Load
    waveforms.
