 Summary
• Diode rectifiers convert an ac voltage to a dc
voltage.
• The output voltage contain ripples which can
be removed by filters.
• Depending on time constant of the load, the
load current may be discontinuous.
• Line inductances cause overlap and reduce the
effective dc output voltage.
• What was the major idea?
• What was the muddiest idea?
