Rectifiers take a number of forms,
including vacuum tubediodes,mercuryarc valves, copper and selenium oxide
rectifiers,semiconductor diodes,siliconcontrolled rectifiersand other siliconbased semiconductor switches
RECTIFIER
is an electrical
device that converts alternating current
(AC) to direct current (DC).

The higher the number of pulses:
the better the utilization of the rectifier
the lesser the ripple amplitude
the higher the ripple frequency this
implies that filtering the ripple is easier.

consists of a three
phase transformer
a star connected
secondary three phase
transformer with three
diodes connected to
the three phases
the neutral point NTRL
of the secondary is
considered as the earth
for the circuit and is
given as the negative
terminal for the load

For each one-third of
the cycle, each diode
conducts.
At the instant when one
diode out of three is
conducting, the other
two are left inactive, at
that instant their
cathodes becomes
positive with respect to
the anodes.
Then the process
repeats for each of the
three diodes.

also called as a
six wave half

D1 to D6 will
conduct only for

period of pi/3.
Six diodes are
used

the fluctuation of
dc voltage is less
in a three phase
circuit
the variation lies
between the
maximum
alternation
voltage and 86.6%
of this, with the
average value
being 0.955 times
the maximum
value
