ECE Bridge Rectifier

The laboratory activity aims to simulate half-wave, full-wave bridge type, and full-wave center-tapped rectifiers. It discusses the components required, including a step-down transformer, bridge rectifier, filter circuit, and regulator IC, and presents trial results showing the relationship between load resistance, input current, and output voltage. Observations indicate that as resistance increases, input current decreases while the output voltage remains relatively stable.

LABORATORY ACTIVITY
I. Objectives
-To simulate the circuit of a half-wave, full-wave bridge type, and full-wave center-
tapped rectifier and do some trials.
II. Overview of the topic
- A Full wave rectifier is a circuit arrangement which makes use of both half cycles of
input alternating current (AC) and converts them to direct current (DC). Bridge
Rectifiers are widely used in power supplies that provide necessary DC voltage for
electronic components or devices. They can be constructed with four or more diodes
or any other controlled solid-state switches.
III. Circuit components
- A step-down transformer to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC. A bridge rectifier
to convert the AC into pulsating DC. A filter circuit consisting of a capacitor to remove the
AC ripples. A regulator IC 7805 to get a regulated DC voltage of 20 V.
IV. Circuit Diagram
V. Procedure
The current will flow to D1 and then to the resistor because D4 is an open and then flows to D2
vice versa.
VI. Observation
A. Diode Specification: indicate whichever is available (internal resistance, saturation current,
capacitance)
B. Table:
TRIAL/S: LOAD INPUT OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) Efficiency
RESISTANCE CURRENT (%)
(mA) Vac Vdc 2Vmax/pi
(ohms)
1 50 369.822 20v 18.436 12.73 54.67%

2 500 37.114 20v 18.557 12.73 55.18%

3 1000 18.44 20v 18.44 12.73 72.64%


VII. Input and output waveforms (generated from the simulation):
50 ohms

500 ohms

1000 ohms

VIII. Discussions
- The given voltage is the same thus the only change happened is in the input current:
the higher the resistance the lower the input current. On Vdc, change is negligible
along with the 2vmax/pi.
