o How to calculate the performance parameters of rectifier.
o Able to Analysis harmonic contents present in output waveform.
Introduction:
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current, which periodically reverses
direction, to direct current, which flows in only one direction. The process is known as
Rectification, since it “straightens” the direction of current. Physically, rectifiers take a
number of forms, including vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc valves, stacks of copper and
selenium oxide plates, semiconductor diodes, silicon controlled rectifiers and other silicon
based semiconductors have been used. Early radio synchronous electromechanical switches
and motors have been used a “cat’s whisker” of fine wire pressing on a crystal of galena(load
sulfide) to serve as a point contact rectifier or “crystal detector”.

Conclusion:
In this lab we learn about full wave controlled Rectifiers we see what are the impact of load
on the output voltages of Rectifier and we also see the performance parameters of full wave
controlled rectifier.
