SINGLE-PHASE DIODE RECTIFIERS:Rectification is the process of conversion of alternating input voltage to direct
output voltage. A rectifier converts AC power to DC power. In diode-based rectifiers, the output
voltage cant be controlled.
In this section, uncontrolled single-phase rectifiers are studied. The diode is
assumed ideal as before.
A rectifier may be half-wave type or full-wave type. A half-wave rectifier is one in
which current in any one line, connected to AC source, is unidirectional. However a full-wave
rectifier has bidirectional current in any one line connected to AC surface.
A rectifier may be one-pulse, two-pulse, three-pulse, or n-pulse type. The number
of pulses in any rectifier-configuration is obtained as under:
Pulse number = number of load current (or voltage) pulses during
one cycle of AC source voltage.
Single-phase half-wave rectifier is not used for industrial application because of poor performance.
It is known as single-phase one-pulserectifier.
