FULLWAVEBRIDGERECTIFIER
A	
  Full	
  wave	
  bridge	
  recAfier	
  is	
  an	
  electrical	
  circuit	
  where	
  four	
  
diodes	
  are	
  arranged	
  in	
  the	
  form	
  of	
  a	
  bridge.	
  It	
  converts	
  a	
  
household	
  AC	
  signal	
  into	
  a	
  DC	
  signal.	
  It	
  has	
  various	
  other	
  
applicaAons	
  like	
  it	
  detects	
  the	
  amplitude	
  of	
  a	
  modulated	
  
radio	
  signal	
  and	
  is	
  also	
  used	
  to	
  supply	
  polarized	
  voltage	
  in	
  
welding.
In	
  this	
  project,	
  a	
  full	
  wave	
  bridge	
  recAfier	
  is	
  made	
  using	
  a	
  
breadboard,	
  one	
  transformer	
  (12	
  V	
  AC),	
  one	
  resistor,	
  four	
  
diodes	
  and	
  a	
  few	
  connecAng	
  wires.	
  The	
  connecAons	
  are	
  
made	
  such	
  that	
  a	
  bridge	
  type	
  arrangement	
  of	
  the	
  four	
  diodes	
  
is	
  made.	
  ARer	
  the	
  compleAon	
  of	
  the	
  circuit,	
  the	
  transformer	
  
is	
  connected	
  to	
  a	
  220V	
  AC	
  source	
  and	
  the	
  power	
  supply	
  is	
  
switched	
  ON.	
  The	
  ‘path	
  of	
  current’	
  analysis	
  was	
  done	
  in	
  the	
  
posiAve	
  and	
  negaAve	
  half	
  cycles	
  of	
  the	
  input	
  voltage.	
  The	
  
stepped	
  down	
  input	
  AC	
  voltage	
  was	
  calculated	
  across	
  the	
  
points	
  where	
  the	
  output	
  wires	
  of	
  the	
  transformer	
  were	
  
connected.	
  The	
  voltage	
  across	
  the	
  load	
  resistor	
  was	
  also	
  
measured,	
  this	
  voltage	
  is	
  the	
  recAfied	
  output	
  DC	
  voltage	
  
(VO)	
  produced	
  by	
  the	
  bridge	
  recAfier.	
  The	
  output	
  voltage	
  
was	
  calculated	
  theoreAcally	
  using	
  KVL	
  (Kirchhoff’s	
  voltage	
  
law)	
  by	
  using	
  the	
  ideal	
  voltage	
  drop	
  across	
  the	
  diodes	
  and	
  
the	
  input	
  voltage.	
  Both	
  the	
  voltages	
  values	
  were	
  compared	
  
and	
  the	
  relaAve	
  error	
  was	
  calculated.
Since	
  this	
  bridge	
  type	
  arrangement	
  produces	
  a	
  posiAve	
  
voltage	
  output	
  during	
  both	
  the	
  posiAve	
  and	
  negaAve	
  half	
  
cycles	
  of	
  the	
  AC	
  signal,	
  it	
  is	
  called	
  a	
  bridge-­‐wave	
  recAfier,	
  and	
  
the	
  process	
  is	
  called	
  full-­‐wave	
  recAficaAon.
