Half Wave Rectifier – Vdc (with practical diode)
Effect of using a silicon diode with VK =0.7 V is
noticed during the forward-bias region of the
diode. Applied voltage must exceed VK =0.7 V
for the diode to turn “on.”
For v i < 0.7 V, the diode will be in open-circuit
state and vo= 0 V.
For v i > 0.7 V, diode will be conducting and the
difference between vo and vi is a fixed level of
VK=0.7V i.e. vo = vi – VK
Net effect is a reduction in area above the axis,
which reduces the resulting dc voltage level will
be: Vm Vk
Vdc
For situations where Vm >> VK, an
approximation

by ignoring
i i VK to

FWR with Center Tapped Transformer
A full-wave rectifier with two diodes uses a
center-tapped (CT) transformer (Fig-A) to
establish the input signal across each
section of the secondary of the transformer.
During the positive half of input voltage vi
applied to the transformer, induced voltage
across the two sections of the Secondary
winding will appear as shown Fig-B.
This makes diode D1 to be FB and D2 to Fig-A
be in RB state. As determined by the
secondary voltages, resulting current
direction and output voltage across load
resistor R are also shown below.

FWR with Center Tapped Transformer
During the negative portion of the input
input, the network appears as shown
below, reversing the roles of the diodes but maintaining the same polarity
for the voltage across the load resistor R.
The net effect of output voltage is same as that obtained for the full wave
bridge rectifier with the same dc levels
Vdc = 0.636 Vm (for ideal diode)
Vdc = 0.636 ( Vm – Vk ) (for Realistic diode)
If Vm >>Vk , then Vk can be ignored

For the negative region of the input (for t= T/2 to T), T) D1 and D4 are the
conducting diodes. This results in flow of current through R which has the
same direction as the current flowing during positive half of input voltage. In
addition, polarity of voltage across the load resistor remains unchanged.
Over one full cycle the input and output voltages will appear as shown
below.

Note: If silicon rather than ideal diodes are

results in

Peak value of the output voltage vo is:

Bridge Rectifier – Peak Inverse Voltage
To define PIV for Bridge Rectifier, we must find the maximum voltage that
appears across the diode which is not conducting, when the secondary
voltage of the transformer attains its maximum value Vm.
In Fig 2 below,
below D2 & D4 diodes are conducting and D1 & D3 are not
conducting when secondary voltage reaches its max value of Vm. The
conducting diodes have zero resistance (forward biased) and hence voltage
across them is almost zero,, consequently,
q y, point
p A and point
p B in the diagram
g
are at the same potential and so is the case for points C & D which are at the
same potential as diode D4 also has zero voltage drop across it. As a result,
entire secondary voltage Vm appears across the load RL and the same
voltage
lt also
l appears across th the nonconducting
d ti diodes

D3 Thus,
Th PIV =
Vm for a bridge rectifier.
