What are the simple applications of bridge rectifier?

A bridge recifier is a full wave rectifier. It takes each part of the AC waveform, rectifies it and adds them together, giving a smoother output compared to a half wave recifier. They are used in simple power supplies, using a mains transformer, a bridge rectifier and a smoothing capacitor. Further regulation can then be added for stable power supplies.


Why does a rectifier diode is not operated in breakdown voltage?

The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum voltage at which it conducts in both directions. If you have a 100-volt rectifier diode (1N4002) and you wire it into a 110v circuit, it will flow current in both directions and you'll get no rectification.


What is a devices that protect electronic equipment from variations in electric current?

A fuse is designed to 'blow' if the incoming current exceeds its rating. A rectifier circuit will 'clean up' spikes in the mains supply.


What is an AC to DC converter called?

While 'rectifier' is the component which converts AC to DC, the entire converter unit which converts AC to DC is also known by the name 'Eliminator'.This, as the old timers will tell you, is short for 'Battery Eliminator', as quite often, the AC-DC converter is used as a substitute for having to use the batteries. It allows the battery driven equipment to be powered from the mains directly.

Where you can use full wave rectifier?

Basically , rectifier is used to convert a.c into d.c . The bridge rectifier is used in all power supply section of all device which are operated on D.C supplly. For example in TV the circuit board is operated at 12 V D.C. so we need dc supply which is provided by rectifier. All SMPS ( Switched Mode Power Supplies) uses Bridge rectifier.

What are the power supply types?

Linear power supply - An AC powered linear power supply usually uses a transformer to convert the voltage from the wall outlet (mains) to a different, usually a lower voltage. In the past mains electricity was supplied as DC in some regions, AC in others. Simple, cheap, linear power supplies running directly from either AC or DC mains, often without a transformer used. They used a rectifier and capacitor filter; the rectifier was essentially a conductor, having no sudden effect when operating from DC. A switched-mode power supply (SMPS) works on a different principle. AC mains input is directly rectified without the use of a transformer, to obtain a DC voltage. This voltage is then sliced into small pieces by a high-speed electronic switch. The size of these slices grows larger as power output requirements increase.

What is the device which works both as rectifier and inverter?

The only one I can think of is known as an "Uninterruptable Power Supply" or U.P.S. for short. Usually connected to computers or to other equipment where they provide D.C. or direct current output from A.C. ( alternating current ) mains. Inside there are one or more batteries that are charged when the mains are on. The rectifier side creates the direct current. When the mains fails the inverter side of things may take the power from the battery, creating an a.c. supply which could be used by the rectifier side for the output. Although I'm an electrician, I've never taken one apart to have a look or even seen the circuit diagram for one so I would not take this as a 100% accurate answer.

What is the frequency of ripple component in the output inductor filter?

It depends on the rectifier. For a half-wave, it's the same as the AC mains: i.e. 60 Hz mains gives 60 Hz ripple. For a full-wave or a bridge, it's twice the AC mains: 60 Hz mains gives 120 Hz ripple. Three-phase systems are more complicated, so you would need to check in an electrical engineering book.
