Operation
Let C initially uncharged. Circuit is
energised at t=0
Diode becomes forward biased as the
source become positive
When diode is ON the output is the same
as source voltage. C charges until V
m
After t=/2, C discharges into load (R).
The source becomes less than the output
voltage
Diode reverse biased; isolating the load
from source.
The output voltage decays exponentially.

Examples
1. A half wave rectifier has a source of 120V RMS at 60Hz.
R=20 ohm, L=0.04H, and the delay angle is 45 degrees.
Determine: (a) the expression for i(t), (b) average
current, (c) the power absorbed by the load.
2. Design a circuit to produce an average voltage of 40V
across a 100 ohm load from a 120V RMS, 60Hz supply.
Determine the power factor absorbed by the resistance.

Freewheeling diode (FWD)
Note that for single-phase, half wave rectifier
with R-L load, the load (output) current is
NOT continuos.

diode) can be placed as shown below to make
it continuos

Operation of FWD
Note that both D
1
and D
2
cannot be turned
on at the same time.
For a positive cycle voltage source,
D
1
is on, D
2
is off
The equivalent circuit is shown in Figure (b)
The voltage across the R-L load is the same as
the source voltage.
For a negative cycle voltage source,
D
1
is off, D
2
is on
The equivalent circuit is shown in Figure (c)
The voltage across the R-L load is zero.
However, the inductor contains energy from
positive cycle. The load current still circulates
through the R-L path.
But in contrast with the normal half wave
rectifier, the circuit in Figure (c) does not
consist of supply voltage in its loop.
Hence the negative part of v
o
as shown in the
normal half-wave disappear.
Power Electronics and
Drives (Version 3-2003),
Dr. Zainal Salam, 2003
24
The inclusion of FWD results in continuos
load current, as shown below.
Note also the output voltage has no
negative part.

), the cathodes (-) of the two
diodes are at a common potential. Therefore, the
diode with its anode (+) at the highest potential will
conduct (carry) i
d
.
For example, when v
s
is ( +), D
1
conducts i
d
and D
3
reverses (by taking loop around v
s
, D
1
and D
3
).
When v
s
is (-), D
3
conducts, D
1
reverses.
In the bottom group, the anodes of the two diodes
are at common potential. Therefore the diode with
its cathode at the lowest potential conducts i
d
.
For example, when v
s
(+), D
2
carry i
d

4
reverses.
When v

is (-), D

Three-phase waveforms
Top group: diode with its anode at the
highest potential will conduct. The other
two will be reversed.
Bottom group: diode with the its cathode at
the lowest potential will conduct. The other
two will be reversed.
For example, if D
1
(of the top group)
conducts, v
p
is connected to v
an.
. If D
6
(of the
bottom group) conducts, v
n
connects to v
bn
.
All other diodes are off.
The resulting output waveform is given as:

For peak of the output voltage is equal to
the peak of the line to line voltage v
