LC Filter or Choke Input Filter

● The filter which uses one inductor and one capacitor is called LC filter. The filter element
looking from the rectifier side is an inductor so it is also called choke input filter.
● This filter is also called L type filter or L section filter. Circuit Diagram
● The Fig. 2.10.1(a) shows a half wave rectifier with LC filter. The Fig. 2.10.1(b) shows
centre-tapped full wave rectifier with LC filter. The Fig. 2.10.1(c) shows bridge type full
wave rectifier with LC filter.
Operation
● The rectifier output Which Pulsating d.c.is applied to the choke L. The inductor offers
very small resistance to d.c. and hence allows d.c. component to pass to the load and it
blocks a.c. component.
● Most of the ripples are blocked by an inductor but the remaining ripples are blocked by
capacitor C. It offers small reactance to a.c ripples and as connected in shunt with the
load, it bypasses the remaining ripples.
● The capacitor C offers high reactance to d.c. hence it blocks d.c. component.
● Thus due to both reactances of L and C, almost pure dc component is available to the
load. Due to the double filtering effect, the output of this filter is very smooth.
● Its ripple factor is given by,

● It can be seen that the ripple factor is not dependent on the load resistance, which is its
important advantage. It remains constant at all the loads.
● The Fig. 2.10.2 shows the waveforms of LC filter.

● This filter has good regulation and is suitable for all the loads, heavyaswell as light loads.

Necessity of Bleeder Resistance


● The basic requirement of an inductor is that the current through it must be continuous
and not interrupted.
● If current through L is interrupted, it develops a large back e.m.f. whichmayexceed PIV
rating of the diodes and voltage rating of capacitor C. This may damage diodes and
capacitor.
● To avoid this, inductor L must carry minimum current all the time continuously without
any interruption. For this purpose a resistance RB is connected across the output
terminals, which is called bleeder resistance.
● The bleeder resistance is shown in Fig. 2.10.3.
