FULL WAVE BRIDGE RECTIFIER
OBJECTIVE:
To observe the behavior of a Full Wave Bridge Rectifier.

EQUIPMENT:
 Transformer
 Diode
 Proteus
 Resistances (1kΩ)
 Connecting wires

DISCUSSION:
 Full-Wave Rectification:
A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity
(positive or negative) at its output. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input
waveform to DC (direct current), and is more efficient. However, in a circuit with a non-center
tapped transformer, four diodes are required instead of the one needed for half-wave
rectification. Four rectifiers arranged this way are called a diode bridge or bridge rectifier.

For single-phase AC, if the transformer is center-tapped, then two diodes back-to- back form a
full-wave rectifier. Twice as many windings are required on the transformer secondary to obtain
the same output voltage compared to the bridge rectifier above.
 The Bridge Rectifier:
Bridge rectifier uses a normal transformer with 4 diodes arranged as a bridge. The working and
operation of a full wave bridge rectifier is pretty simple. The circuit diagrams and waveforms are
given below which will help you understand the operation of a bridge rectifier perfectly. In the
circuit diagram, 4 diodes are arranged in the form of a bridge. The transformer secondary is
connected to two diametrically opposite points of the bridge at points A and C. The load
resistance RL is connected to bridge through points B and D.

Learning Outcomes
In this lab we study about the full wave bridge rectifier and do one task using
proteus . I connect transformer bridge 1kiloohm resistor and Vsine source and then
oscilloscope to observe the waveform. I also conclude by doing this lab that bridge
rectifier uses fours diodes and a transformer without a centered tap to
accomplished what it can do.
