SCR As Full Wave Rectifier

SCRs can be used to build a full wave rectifier circuit that rectifies both the positive and negative halves of the input waveform. The circuit uses two SCRs connected to a center-tapped transformer to allow current to flow through either SCR depending on the polarity of the input voltage. During the positive half cycle, SCR1 is turned on to conduct while SCR2 is off, and during the negative half cycle SCR2 is turned on and SCR1 is off, resulting in full wave rectification with higher average output voltage and less ripple than a half wave rectifier.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
WORKING :
In a full wave rectifier, both positive and
negative wave of the input supply are
half wave rectifier, the average value of
the DC voltage is high and also ripple
content is less. The below figure shows
the full eave rectifier circuit consisting of
two SCRs connected with centre tapped
transformer.
During the positive half cycle of the input, SCR1 is forward biased and SCR2 is reverse biased. By applying the proper gate signal, SCR1 is turned ON and hence load current starts flowing
through it.

During the negative half cycle of the input, SCR2 is forward biased and SCR1 is reverse biased. With a gate triggering, SCR2 is turned ON and hence the load current flows through the SCR2.
