    EE305.30 TO 31 2
    Objectives :
    Upon completion of this topic the student will be
    able to know
    • What is a Bridge Rectifier?

    • Working of Bridge Rectifier.

    • Advantages & Disadvantages.

    • Comparison with centre tapped FWR.

    EE305.30 TO 31 3
    What is Bridge Rectifier ?

    Bridge Rectifier is

    • A full wave rectifier constructed in the


    form of a bridge .

    EE305.30 TO 31 4
    What is the need for a bridge rectifier ?

    • No centre tapped transformer is required.


    • Smaller in size

    • Low Cost
    • Low PIV
    • Transformer is optional.

    Working of bridge rectifier

    EE305.30 TO 31 7
    • The voltages at points A and B on the transformer are
    changing in opposite directions.

    • When A is increasing in a positive direction, B is


    increasing negatively.

    • During the first half cycle, A is positive and B is


    negative.

    • D1 has positive on its anode, D2 has negative on its


    cathode. Both are forward biased. (fig. 2)

    EE305.30 TO 31 8
    • Current flows around
    the circuit formed by these
    diodes, the load and the
    transformer winding.

    • The current flowing up


    through the load produces a
    pulse of voltage across the load
    as shown in the waveform.

    EE305.30 TO 31 11
    • During the next half cycle, A is negative
    and B is positive.

    • D4 has positive on its anode, D3 has negative


    on its cathode. Both are forward biased.

    • Current flows around the circuit as shown in the


    diagram.

    Input and output wave forms of Bridge FWR

    EE305.30 TO 31 14
    • In both cases the current flows in the same
    direction through the load and produce another

    pulse of voltage.
    • Since the full cycle is used this circuit is called
    a FULL-WAVE rectifier.

    • Since there are two pulses for each cycle of


    input, there are 100 pulses per second out.

    EE305.30 TO 31 15
    Advantages

    • No centre tap is required

    • PIV is one half that of centre tap FWR

    • OUTPUT is double to that of centre tap FWR

    EE305.30 TO 31 16
    Disadvantages

    • Four diodes are required

    • Rectification efficiency is less due to two diodes


    are in conduction at a time at lower voltages

    • Output is double to that of centre tap FWR

    EE305.30 TO 31 17
    Comparison with centre tapped F.W.R
    Centre tapped FWR Bridge FWR
    • No. of diodes are two • No. of diodes are four
    • PIV is 2Vm • PIV is Vm
    • Center tapping is • Center tapping is not
    necessary necessary
    • Preferred for low • Preferred for low
    voltage and high current voltage and high current
    circuits circuits

    EE305.30 TO 31 18
    Summary

    2. Bridge rectifier is a full wave rectifier which uses four


    diodes in the form of bridge.

    4. Two diodes will be in conduction and remaining two in off


    condition for every half cycle.

    6. As centre tapped transformer is avoided the size and cost


    can be reduced.

    8. Used in high voltage and low current circuits.
