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 are the advantages and dis advantage of full-wave bridge rectifier compared with two diodes rectifier?

in full wave bridge rectifier, the input and out put voltages are same but in case of two diode rectifier the input and output voltages can be different as per requirement a there is a transformer in the circuit. The former is lighter and the later is heavier.


What is working principle and construction of bridge rectifier?

A full wave bridge rectifier converts AC (Alternating Current) into DC (Direct Current) with an AC component. To achieve DC only, the output of the bridge rectifier must have the AC component removed by bypassing it, usually with capacitors. It consists of 4 diodes in a bridge format. During one half of an AC cycle, two of the diodes conduct and on the other half a cycle the other two conduct. Diodes allow current to flow in one direction only. A diagram can be found at http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_6/chpt_5/5.html


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.


Which harmonics is present in full bridge rectifire?

Since the output of the rectifier is a close approximation of a sawtooth waveform, then all harmonics starting at the second harmonic are present in the full wave bridge rectifier output.

Does a full-wave rectifier work if there is no ground?

You can use it as a floating PS by connecting the anode side to - supply and the cathode side to +


How do you test a voltage rectifier?

If you actually mean rectifier (rather than regulator), then you can determine if it is performing its base function of converting alternating current to direct current by using a voltmeter. If the rectifier is functioning, you should read a percentage (which depends upon whether it is a half-wave or full-wave rectifier) of the AC peak input value on the DC range of a voltmeter. Using an oscilloscope, you can clearly view the half-wave or full-wave unidirectional (positive or negative only) pulses produced at the output of the rectifier. If the rectifier is blown and is conducting in both directions you will see nothing on a DC voltmeter range (the average value of an AC waveform is zero), and on an oscilloscope you will see the full peak-to-peak AC input waveform at its output.


Why full wave rectifier is preffered over half wave rectifier?

Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.


Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?

a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)

Chubb and fortescue method for HV AC mesurement?

This is a device of High Voltage (HV) Alternating Current (AC) measurement. Connect the HV AC source through a capacitor to either a full or half rectifier. In comparison to the HV the diodes in the rectifier can be concerted ideal. Under the rectifier connect an ammeter. The formula is V p-p = Iave/(2FC) for a half rectifier and V p-p = Iave/(4FC) for a full rectifier. Where V p-p is the peak to peak voltage, Iave is the average current, F is the frequency of the AC and C is the capacitor used.


How does AC convert to DC?

With the help of rectifier , Ac convert to DC. It can be done by different connections of diodes. There are two ways: 1)FULL WAVE RECTIFIER 2)HALF WAVE RECTIFIER Full wave rec. may be subdivided into two types that is ; (bridge type rectifier ,(b)Centertapped rectifier. A DC we get , is pulsating DC , which can be convert without pulsating with the help of Stabilizer and Filter. A rectifier is a device that can either be solid state or vacume tube. It only passes current in one direction. When the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, it is said to be forward biased and allows current to flow. When it is reverse biased, it blocks current from flowing.


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 is ripple factor of the Full-wave rectifier?

The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482
