 Introduction

• A rectifier is a circuit that converts an ac signal into a

unidirectional (dc) signal. It is a type of ac-dc converter.
• A rectifier should give a dc output voltage with minimum
harmonic contents.
• It should maintain the input current as sinusoidal as possible
and in phase with the input voltage - unity input power factor.

Resistive Load

EE042-4-3-Power Electronics & Drives Ch4-Uncontrolled Rectifiers Slide 9

 Single-Phase Half-Wave Rectifier:
Resistive Load

For 0 ≤ t ≤ T/2
• When Vs(t) has positive voltage drop across the diode, the
diode is forward-biased and conducts.
• The resistor R will experience the same voltage drop as Vs(t),
thus i(t) will follow the same (scaled) waveform as VR(t).
• Vdiode(t) is almost zero since it acts as low resistance
conducting path because voltage drop across the diode during
conduction is very small.

 Single-Phase Half-Wave Rectifier:
Resistive Load

For T/2 ≤ t ≤ T
• When Vs(t) has negative voltage drop across the diode, the
diode is reverse-biased and does not allow current through it.
• The resistor R will experience zero voltage drop since i(t)=0.
• Vdiode(t) experiences the reverse voltage due to Vs(t).
• The output voltage provides discontinuous current and the
ripple in VO(t) is too large. Thus, half-wave rectifier is seldom
used in practical applications.

Inductive Load

EE042-4-3-Power Electronics & Drives Ch4-Uncontrolled Rectifiers Slide 15

 Single-Phase Half-Wave Rectifier:
Inductive Load

For 0 ≤ t ≤ t1
• Prior to t=0,Vs(t) is negative and i(t)=0.
• At 0 ≤ t ≤ t1, the diode is forward-biased by Vs(t) and starts to
conduct. i(t) starts to increase so is VR(t).
• At the same time, VL(t)=Ldi/dt will start to increase since the
current is increasing and the inductance is storing energy.
• The area A under the curve represents the amount of energy
stored in L. Vdiode(t)=0.
• In addition,Vo(t)=Vs(t).

EE042-4-3-Power Electronics & Drives Ch4-Uncontrolled Rectifiers Slide 16

 Single-Phase Half-Wave Rectifier:
Inductive Load

For t1 ≤ t ≤ t3
• When VR(t)=VS(t), the current (and VR (t)) through the diode
and the circuit has reached maximum and starts to decrease.
• VL=0 at t1.
• As i(t) decreases, VL(t) will go from positive to negative after
passing through the zero point at maximum I (VL(t)=Ldi/dt)
and reaches a large negative value when the rate of decrease
of i(t) increases while approaching t3.
• For t1 ≤ t ≤ t3, the inductor is discharging the stored energy
and sustain a non-zero current flow between t2 and t3.

EE042-4-3-Power Electronics & Drives Ch4-Uncontrolled Rectifiers Slide 17

 Single-Phase Half-Wave Rectifier:
Inductive Load

For t1 ≤ t ≤ t3
• Vo(t)=VS(t) up to t3.
• Vdiode=0 since the diode is still forward-biased because VL(t) is
more negative than VS(t) from t1 to t3.

 Single-Phase Half-Wave Rectifier:
Inductive Load

For t3 ≤ t ≤ t4
• After t3, the inductor has expended its stored energy.
• Since VS(t) is more negative than VL(t), the diode is reverse-
biased and stops conducting.
• i(t)=0 and VR(t)=0. So VL(t)=0 as i(t) is constant.VO(t)=0.
• The extinction angle, 𝛽, is the point when the i(t)=0 after a
non-zero current interval.
• For more inductive load, 𝛽 becomes larger, i.e., larger delay
time constant and thus the current will decrease to zero with
a longer time.

 Single-Phase Full-Wave Rectifier

• The objective of a full-wave rectifier is to produce a voltage

or current that is purely dc or has some specified dc
component.
• The average current in the ac source is zero in the full-wave
rectifier, thus avoiding problems associated with nonzero
average source currents, such as transformer saturation.
• The output of the full-wave rectifier has inherently less ripple
than the half-wave rectifier.

• During positive half-cycle, VS(t) is positive at point X and

negative at Y. D1 and D2 are forward-biased and conduct
current.
• iS(t) flows through X-D1-B-R-A-D2-Y and back to VS. Thus
i(t)=iS(t).VO(t)=VS(t) and iD1(t)=iD2(t)=iS(t),VD1(t)=VD2(t)=0
• But D3 and D4 are reverse-biased and do not conduct.
iD3(t)=iD4(t)=0 and VD3(t)=VD4(t)=VS.

When the load consists of large inductance,
the load can be approximated to be a
constant current source since any change
in VL(t) will result very small in change in i(t).

• Another general industrial load may be modeled as a series

resistance, inductance, and a dc voltage source,.
• A dc motor drive circuit and a battery charger are
applications for this model.
• There are two possible modes: of operation continuous-
current mode and the discontinuous-current mode.
• In the continuous-current mode, the load current is always
positive for steady-state operation.

returning to zero during every period.
