This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...
Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

Electronic engineers know the common mantras when it comes to creating new designs: Make it cheaper. Make it smaller. Make it faster. These goals, along with technological evolution, keep most ...
A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...
In a typical ac-dc power supply, diode bridges do not control inrush current due to the output capacitor sudden charge at line plug-in. A high inrush current can cause several issues for the system ...
