 ALL ABOUT

HALF WAVE RECTIFIER (HWR)

 What is a Half Wave Rectifier ?

 A rectifier is a circuit which converts the Alternating Current (AC) input power
into a Direct Current (DC) output power. The input power supply may be
either a single-phase or a multi-phase supply with the simplest of all the
rectifier circuits being that of the Half Wave Rectifier.

 The power diode in a half wave rectifier circuit passes just one half of each
complete sine wave of the AC supply in order to convert it into a DC supply.
Then this type of circuit is called a “half-wave” rectifier because it passes only
half of the incoming AC power supply.

 Applications of Half wave rectifier :-

Any rectifier is used to construct DC power supplies. The practical

application of any rectifier (be it half wave or full wave) is to be used as a
component in building DC power supplies.  A half wave rectifier is not special than a
full wave rectifier in any terms. In order to build an efficient & smooth DC power
supply, a full wave rectifier is always preferred.  However, for applications in which
a constant DC voltage is not very essential, you can use power supplies with half
wave rectifier.

 WORKING OF HALF WAVE RECTIFIER :-
The input given to the rectifier will have both positive and negative cycles.
The half rectifier will allow only the positive half cycles and omit the negative half
cycles. So first we will see how half wave rectifier works in the positive half
cycles.

Positive Half Cycle:

 In the positive half cycles when the input AC power is given to the primary
winding of the step down transformer, we will get the decreased voltage at
the secondary winding which is given to the diode.
 The diode will allow current flowing in clock wise direction from anode to
cathode in the forward bias (diode conduction will take place in forward
bias) which will generate only the positive half cycle of the AC.
 The diode will eliminate the variations in the supply and give the pulsating
DC voltage to the load resistance RL. We can get the pulsating DC at the
Load resistance.

Negative Half Cycle:

 In the negative half cycle the current will flow in the anti-clockwise
direction and the diode will go in to the reverse bias. In the reverse bias
the diode will not conduct so, no current in flown from anode to cathode,
and we cannot get any power at the load resistance.
 Only small amount of reverse current is flown from the diode but this
current is almost negligible. And voltage across the load resistance is also
zero

Important Terms in HWR :-
1. Peak Inverse Voltage(PIV) :-
The maximum value of reverse voltage (for the diode in the rectifier)
accuring at the peak of the negative cycle of the input cycle is called as peak
inverse voltage.

PIV=Vm
2. Ripple:-
The Ac component present in the rectifier output of a rectifier diode is
called ripple.

3. Ripple Factor(r) :-
It is the ratio of rms value of AC component (voltage or current) to the
DC component in the rectifier output.

r=Vr.ms/Vdc

4. Rectifier Efficiency(n) :-
The ratio of output DC power delivered to the load to the applied input
AC power is called rectifier efficiency.

n== Pdc
Pac
5. Transformer Utilization Factor(TUF) :-
The ratio of DC power delivered to the load to the AC rating of the of
the transformer secondary.

TUF= Pdc
Pac (rated)
6. Ripple Frequency(fr) :-
The number of ripple pulses present in the rectifier output per second
is called ripple frequency.

Fr=fi=50 Hz

ADVANTAGES OF HWR :-
The advantages of half wave rectifier are as given
below-

1. It is very simple in construction.

2. It requires less number of components for its construction.

3. It is small in size.

4. It is very cheap.

DISADVANTAGES OF HWR :-
The disadvantages of half wave rectifier are as given
below-

1. It has excessive ripple factor.

2. It has low rectifier efficiency.

3. It has low transformer utilization factor(TUF).

4. It has DC saturation of transformer secondary winding due to

the flow of DC current through it.

5. It produces low output DC voltage and output DC current.

6. It requires filter components of higher values for low ripple

output.
