Introduction
In the multi staged rectifiers, more than two diodes are used and
these are used in the above-mentioned devices. The singled staged
rectifier has only two diodes, the one we are to discuss in this
project. The multi diode rectifier has only 2 diodes, the one we are
to discuss in this project. The multi diode rectifiers have efficiency
~94.6% while that of the single is only 81.2%.
Full Wave Rectifier
There are two main forms of full wave rectifier circuit that
can be used. Each type has its own features and is suited for
different applications.
Two diode full wave rectifier circuit: The two diode full
wave rectifier circuit is not so widely used with semiconductor
diodes as it requires the use of a centre tapped transformer.
However this rectifier circuit was widely used in the days of
thermionic valves / vacuum tubes. As a rectifier circuit using four
valves would be large, the two diode version was much more
preferable. Full wave rectifier using two diodes and a centre
tapped transformer. (Figure: 1)
Full wave rectifier using a bridge rectifier circuit: The full
wave bridge rectifier circuit configuration is far more widely used
these days. It offers a more efficient use of the transformer as well
as not requiring a centre-tapped transformer. The additional cost
is two additional diodes - not an expensive addition these days.
Often four diode bridges can be bought as single items, making
construction of the overall circuit much simpler.
In view of their advantages, full wave rectifier circuits are
virtually always used in preference to half wave circuits. The
increased efficiency coupled with the better smoothing ability
arising from the shorter time between peaks means that their
advantages outweigh the disadvantages by a long way. Only
occasionally, often for low requirement supplies would a half
wave rectifier be used in preference to the full wave rectifier
circuit.(Figure: 2)
