In a switching DC-DC voltage converter, the oscillatory nature of the switching circuit generates a small "ripple" effect in the output voltage which is supposed to be minimized via careful design of the overall circuit. The output current of this type of converter typically flows through a diode into the rest of the system. The voltage measured at the cathode of this diode will exhibit the aforementioned ripple.
What else can I help you with?
How could you measure ripple frequency to determine if a diode were open in a bridge rectifier circuit?
Measuring ripple frequency would determine if a diode were open in a bridge rectifier circuit because the ripple frequency is normally twice the input frequency in a functioning full wave bridge rectifier. If one diode were open, the ripple frequency would only be the input frequency. Note: This is true for single phase or bi-phase operation. Three phase operation is more complex, but still doable - You would expect three times input frequency in normal state, and two times (asymmetric) with one open diode.
What happens to the load if reverse the polarity of diode?
if you reverse the diode in a half wave rectifier, you would expect the A- Ripple to increase B- output to be less filtered C- out put polarity to be reversed D- output voltage to decrease
In which case ripple factor is minimum?
when is ripple fator minimum
What is ac ripple neutralizer?
it is nothing but ac ripple neutralizer
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
What needs to be replaced when a diode ripple is not detected?
replace the diode
What happens to ripple frequency when one diode is removed from bridge?
actually a diode is forward biased by at least 0,7 volts.so what it means is that when it is removed that 0,7 voltage drop on the diode is eliminated thus increasing ripple voltage
What happens when one of three diode is removed from 3 phase full wave rectifier?
A: Then the phase that the diode is remove will not work or Rather get an output

What happens with voltage and current by damaged diode...the diode is IN5408?
It depends on how the diode is damaged. There are generally two cases. One, the diode is shorted, and conducts with a low impedance in both directions. The other, the diode is open, and does not conduct, having a high impedance, in both directions. The effect depends on the particular circuit. In a power supply, a shorted diode will often blow the fuse, while an open diode will result in no output, or in high ripple voltage output. Is it possible that diode has normal voltage output but wrong current,meaning low mA?
What is ripple frequency of 50 hz ac full supply?
you can't have half wave rectified polyphase AC power, unless you are using only one of the phases. however with only one diode from each phase of three 50 Hz phases the ripple frequency is 150 Hz, with two making a full three phase bridge the ripple frequency is 300 Hz. perhaps that was what you meant.
What is ripple answer in urdu?
ripple
How does a diode change from AC to DC?
it clips all the bottom voltage off the sine wave,to get steady dc voltage you will need to clean up the ripple to get good voltage regulation <><><> A diode does not change AC to DC, but it does allow alternating current to flow in only one direction. A diode (or often 2 or 4 diodes) with a filter can be used to rectify AC into DC.
What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
What are the effect of removing the freewheeling diode In single phase semi converter?
Removing the freewheeling diode in a single-phase semi-converter can lead to several adverse effects. Without the diode, the inductive load will not have a path for the current to continue flowing when the SCRs are turned off, potentially causing voltage spikes and damaging the circuit components. Additionally, the efficiency of the converter may decrease, leading to increased ripple in the output voltage and a less stable operation. Overall, the absence of the freewheeling diode compromises the converter's performance and reliability.
What value resistor and diode would you need to drop voltage from 12 volts ac to 1.2 volts dc?
I'm not sure you understand what you're asking. A diode will have a voltage drop of ~.5-.7 volts. If you put a diode and resistor in series, the voltage across the diode will be .5 - .7 volts, and the voltage drop across the resistor will be (supply voltage - diode voltage drop). If you are trying to rectify to DC, you need at the least a half wave rectifier (two diodes), and some system to remove the ripple. The rectifier simply chops the AC waveform, so for the part of the supply sine wave that is ~.5 or less, the output of the rectifier will be zero. The top part of the sign wave will show up on the output of the rectifier, but will be slightly smaller (due to the voltage drop across the diode). You'll need to get ride of this rippling for true DC. One fairly easy way to do this is to use a zener diode. It will attempt to keep the voltage drop across it the same, so purchase a 1.2 volt zener diode. The problem with this is the zener diode will saturate if you have too heavy a load. What I've done on simple projects is to use a zener diode to bias the base to collector voltage of a transistor, with the emitter acting as the output (an NPN BJT usually). I also used a fairly large capacitor to help minimize the ripple as well, although this may not be necessary for you.
