∙ 15y agoThe full wave bridge rectifier has the advantage of being able to be used in conjunction with a transformer that has no center tap. And it will rectify both halves of the sine wave giving us 360 degrees of operation through the input sine wave. It can be used wether the transformer has a center tap or not. the disavantage is there are two diodes forward voltage drop.

∙ 14y agoSix-phase power is not used because three of the phases would be 180 degrees phase opposite of the other three phases, and that just does not make sense, from a cost-benefit point of view.
The question probably refers to a full-wave three-phase rectifier. Since this will give 6 power pulses per cycle, it could be construed as six-phase, but it is more correct to use the term full-wave three-phase.
The construction of this rectifier is six diodes in an overlapping bridge configuration. Three diodes will have a common cathode, which will be the positive output, and the other three will have a common anode, which will be the negative output. The other ends of each pair of diodes would be connected anode to cathode, to each of the AC inputs in delta configuration.
The conduction cycles would be two diodes in series at a time, rotating through the three phases, twice for each cycle, as each phase leg rises in voltage to be greater than the next, or the prior.

What is the frequency of ripple components in the output of capacitor filter?
It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.
What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
What does the out put wave form looks in a rectifier?
A rectifier allows current to flow only in one direction. In a half-wave rectifier circuit, an input wave which oscillates between positive and negative, will 'pass through' the positive portion of the wave, and when the input is negative will output zero. A full-wave rectifier circuit, is commonly configured with 4 rectifier diodes, which allow a positive wave to output when the input wave is negative.
What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?
They both have the same current.
What is the advantage of half wave rectifier over full wave rectifier?
The advantage of a full wave rectifier is that it produces less ripple and the ripple has a higher frequency, making it easier to filter.The advantage of a half wave rectifier is it is simpler and less expensive as it needs fewer components.Which is best in a given application however requires making other tradeoffs that are out of scope for this question as they cannot be determined without knowing the details of the specific application. So neither is universally the best.
Why full wave rectifier is preffered over half wave rectifier?
Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.
What is the functioning procedure of full wave rectifier by using SCRs?

What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
Which provide more power and why full wave or half wave rectification?
full wave rectifier, because in half wave rectifier only one p-n junction diode Ans 2. In full wave rectifier both negative & positive cycles are rectified , but , in half wave rectifier only the positive or the negative cycle is rectified . That's why full wave rectifier provides more power .
What is the advantages of halt wave rectifier over full wave rectifier?
Half wave rectifier makes the the sinusoidal wave uni-direction only in one half cycle and leave the other but in full wave rectifier both the cycles are made uni-directional.
What is ripple factor of the Full-wave rectifier?
The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482
Conclusions of full-wave rectifier?
A half wave rectifier is not as effective as a full wave rectifier. With a 1/2 wave, you are throwing away one hump of the sine wave...either positive or negative portion. With a full wave rectifier you get both humps...either positive or negative. The resultant effective voltage is much greater with a full wave rectifier, because there is very little time when the voltage is zero. The half wave is zero for 1/2 of the cycle.
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.
How many diodes are used to make a half wave rectifier?
You use a half-wave rectifier where the system design does not require a full-wave approach. Half wave rectifier output is used for running ac motors.
What happens to the output when one of the diode becomes open in full wave bridge rectifier?
The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.
Types of rectifier?
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.
