Introduction
A full wave rectifier is a device which is
used to rectify all the alternating current
components in an alternating
supply and make it purely a direct
current. The two alternating halves of an
alternation current are rectified in a full
wave rectifier which is an advantage
over a half wave rectifier. Most
electronic devices cannot withstand
very high voltage or alternating current
due to its intense high power. The use of
batteries in all devices is not practical
as their replacement and durability is a
huge problem as the device has to be
dismantled each time for such
a replacement. So these rectifiers
are used in most of the electronic
devices like TV’s, Radios, Chargers,
and Lightings etc.
Circuit Diagram
Connection details:
Connections are done as in the circuit.
The A.C. supply is given to both the
input wires of the transformer and the
two ends of the secondary coil is given
to the P side of the two diodes and the
N side of the diodes are twined and
then connected to one end of the
capacitor and the other end to the
center tap lead and to the resistor.
Further, the other end of capacitor with
the diode connect ion is connected to
the other end of the resistor. Connect 2
leads on both the ends of the resistor to
measure the output and this is
connected to the +ve & -ve terminals of
the bulb.
Working
1st when the A.C. is supplied to the
transformer, it steps down the 230V
main supply to 6 volts. It has a
capability of delivering a current of
500mA. The 6 volts A.C. appearing
across the secondary is the RMS value
and the peak value is 8.4 volts. During
the 1st half cycle of the A.C. input Diode
D1 is forward biased and a current ‘I’
flows in the circuit in the direction S 1D1
ABEOS1. During this time diode D2 is
reverse biased. So it does not conduct
any electric current. During the next half
cycle, the diodeD2 is forward and D1 is
reversed. Hence D2 conducts current in
the direction S2D2 ABEOS2and D1 does
not conduct any current. In subsequent
half cycles of the A.C current the above
processes are repeated.
In both the half cycles it is clear that
current flows through the resistor in only
one direction ABE. Even though the
voltage across RL is unidirectional it will
still contain a few A.C components. This
is filtered and made smooth using a
capacitor, which filters 99% of the A.C
current. A resistor is then used to adjust
the output voltage. Capacitor also
nearly filters all A.C components from
the supply and resistance is adjusted for
the required output. As this is a simple
circuit, only one capacitor and a
resistance are being used. But there will
be slight factor of A.C. current still left in
the output but it is negligible. The
output Direct Current and voltage light
up the LED.
