    The document discusses a presentation on bridge rectifiers, including what they are, why they are needed, their working principle, and advantages and disadvantages. A bridge rectifier uses four diodes in a bridge circuit to efficiently convert AC to DC. It has higher efficiency than a half-wave rectifier and provides a smoother DC output.

    2 Topics to be Discussed

    1. What is Bridge Rectifier.


    2. Why does Bridge Rectifier is needed.
    3. Working Principle of Bridge Rectifier.
    4. Advantage and Disadvantage of Bridge
    Rectifier
    3 What is Bridge Rectifier

    bridge rectifiers is a type of full-wave


    rectifier that uses four or more diodes in a
    bridge circuit configuration to efficiently
    convert alternating (AC) current to a direct
    (DC) current.

    Why Does ridge Rectifier is Needed

    ● Many electronic circuits require a


    rectified DC power supply to power
    various electronic basic components
    from the available AC mains supply.
    Rectifiers are used to convert an AC
    power to a DC power.
    ● They are also used in electric welding.
    5 Working Principle of Bridge Rectifier

    ● When an AC signal is applied across the bridge


    rectifier, terminal A becomes positive during the
    positive half cycle while terminal B becomes negative.
    ● This results in diodes D1 and D3 becoming forward
    biased while D2 and D4 becoming reverse biased.
    ● During the negative half-cycle, terminal B becomes
    positive while terminal A becomes negative.
    ● This causes diodes D2 and D4 to become forward
    biased and diode D1 and D3 to be reverse biased.
    ● From the figures given above, we notice that the
    current flow across load resistor RL is the same during
    the positive and negative half-cycles. The output DC
    signal polarity may be either completely positive or
    negative
    Advantage and Disadvantage of Bridge

    Rectifier

    Advantage of Bridge Rectifier


    ● The efficiency of the bridge rectifier is higher than the
    efficiency of a half-wave rectifier.
    ● The DC output signal of the bridge rectifier is smoother than the
    output DC signal of a half-wave rectifier.
    ● A center tap transformer isn’t required
    Advantage and Disadvantage of Bridge

    Rectifier

    Disadvantage of Bridge Rectifier


    ● The circuit of a bridge rectifier is complex when compared to a
    half-wave rectifier and centre-tapped full-wave rectifier.
    ● Require 4 diodes. Two diodes conducted at each cycle thats why
    voltage drop is higher.
