There are basically two types of rectifiers one is the half wave rectifier and the other is the full wave rectifies. The full wave rectifier is further classified into two types namely the bridge rectifier and the center tapped rectifier.There are also silicon controlled rectifiers nowadays.

bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.


What is the difference between controlled and uncontrolled rectifier?

A simple rectifier is a diode. It only has two terminals and will only allow electron flow in one direction only. A controlled rectifier (SCR=silicon controlled rectifier) has a third connection (gate). Which as the name suggests, is a gate that controls at which point the rectifier will work. It therefore has a level of control.There are various types and you would need the application specification, to get the best use of them.

What is single phase Controlled rectifier?

such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.


How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?

Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.


What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?

Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.


How can capacitor smooth or reduce the ripple of the voltage produced by the rectifier?

when rectifier is on, the capacitor is almost transparent (it charges to the voltage provided from the rectifier) when rectifier is off, capacitor holds the peak voltage since it stored a charge during rectifier on time.

Why full wave rectifier is preffered over half wave rectifier?

Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.
