This document discusses a single phase uncontrolled half wave rectifier with a resistive load. It explains that a half wave rectifier only allows current to flow during one half of the AC cycle. For a resistive load, the output DC voltage is the average of the rectified sinusoidal voltage. The DC current is this voltage divided by the load resistance. The document provides equations to calculate the average and RMS output power dissipated by the resistive load. It also includes an example problem calculating the load current, power, and power factor for a given half wave rectifier circuit.

Introduction
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct
current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known as
rectification.

There are many applications for rectifiers. Some of them are: variable speed dc
drives, battery chargers, DC power supplies and Power supply for a specific
application like electroplating.

Resistive Load
 A basic half-wave rectifier with a
resistive load is shown in fig. a. The
source is ac, and the objective is to
create a load voltage that has a
nonzero dc component. The diode is
a basic electronic switch that allows
current in one direction only.

 For the positive half-cycle of the


source in this circuit, the diode is on
(forward-biased). Considering the
diode to be ideal, the voltage across a
forward-biased diode is zero and the
current is positive.
 For the negative half-cycle of the
source, the diode is reverse-biased,
making the current zero. The voltage
across the reverse-biased diode is
the source voltage, which has a
negative value.
