Full Wave Rectifier
Full Wave Rectifier In Full Wave Rectification , when the AC supply is applied at the input, during both the half-cycles (i.e., positive as well as negative) current flows through the load in the same direction. This can be achieved by using two crystal diodes. The two diodes conduct the current alternately. To obtain the same direction of flow of current in the load resistors R L during positive as well as the negative half cycle of input, the two circuits are used. They are named as follows:- Center tapped full wave rectifier Full Wave Bridge Rectifier To have detailed explanation on the two types of full wave rectifiers follow the links given above. Center Tapped Full Wave Rectifier The Center Tapped Full Wave Rectifier employs a transformer with the secondary winding AB tapped at the centre point C. It converts the AC input voltage into DC voltage. The two diode D 1 , and D 2 are connected in the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram below. Each diode...
