Half wave Rectifier Explained

In this video, the half-wave rectifier circuit working and different specifications /parameters like RMS value, average value, efficiency and ripple factor of the half-wave rectifier is discussed.
By watching this video you will learn the following topics:
1:00 Half wave rectifier circuit and its working
4:54 Average value of half wave rectifier
6:02 RMS value of half wave rectifier
7:35 Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) for half wave rectifier
8:23 Ripple factor of half wave rectifier
9:10 Half wave rectifier with capacitor filter
12:12 The efficiency of the half wave rectifier
12:57 Applications of half wave rectifier
What is half wave rectifier:
The half wave rectifier is the circuit designed using the diode which is used for converting the AC voltage signal into the DC voltage.
The half wave rectifier only passes the one half of the input sine wave (either positive or negative) and rejects the other half.
The output of the half wave rectifier is pulsating DC. The ripple in the output waveform can be reduced using the filter.
To remove or reduce the ripple from the output waveform, the RC time constant of the filter circuit should be much larger than the time period of the half wave rectifier.
Parameters of the half wave rectifier:
Average Value: Vm / π
RMS Value: Vm/2
Ripple Factor: 1.21
Efficiency: 40.6 %
PIV: Vm

Sir @8:51 ripple factor r is *Vrrms/Vdc* not *Irrms/Idc* small mistake but a significant one. Thank you for this course you saved my life.

[@everythingghostaydan7726]

[@bhoopen_5464]

The formula for ripple in half wave rectifier is wrong, it should be Iac in the numerator instead of Irms.

[@nikhilanand4111]

It's the RMS value of ac component of output current

[@russellwilson5246]

hi..thanks for the lession....when you say the half wave rectifier is 47 % eficient...i understand that we only get 47% of the power through...but would it be true to also say 53% of the power is not actualy used or wasted or lost?...im thinking the word eficiency is the wrong word...becaus what we dont use is not lost its just not being used when it is in the turned off situation. for example if i turn a tap on above my glass on for 1 second then i turn the tap off for 1 second we can see the tap is 100% eficient for 1 second and 100% eficient for the next 1 second becaus no water is wasted or lost.

[@Aakaz_Pulikkal]

Is there any problem if phase and neutral lines the input of the rectifier get swapped

[@industrialdonut7681]

2:40 there really needs to be an explicit ground connection for that to make sense.

[@sazzad_H_76]

very halpful

[@jerinjose7831]

Diode will remain forward biased even when capacitor discharge at positive half cycle- Rectifier circuit

[@mugiwara-no-luffy]

3:44, can you explain why the output wave [right] is not covering the entire space from t=0 to t=T/2 ? And numerically small the the time-gaps between t=0 and start of DC pulse and between end of DC pulse and t=T/2 ?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Because during that small initial period, the input voltage is less than 0.7V. And because of that, the diode is not conducting. Since, it is not conducting, it will act as an open circuit. And hence, the output voltage will be zero for that duration. I hope, it will clear your doubt.

[@RAJU-ol7cp]

sir whenever anode and cathod have same voltegae then diode should be switched on ..but in case of rectifiers u were saying diode would be open swotch,how it would be sir?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

To turn on the diode, the voltage at the anode should be more than a cathode terminal. (to be precise, it should be more than the forward voltage drop or the threshold voltage of the diode)

[@sandeepkumawat4982]

i have a question 11:55 how does the capacitor charged upto Vm in just half circle of time period and in the other side it is not discharging in the same time. and in the second yime why the charging graph following the sin graph? why it is discharging as a linear function( because of RC>>T?)

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Yes, it will depend on the RC time constant. If RC time constant is much larger than the time period then capacitor will discharge less and it looks as if it is discharging linearly.

[@ngkean9743]

how do u proof the formula?and wat is the period of the havf wave rectification graft?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

I have made a separate video for the proof of the formula. Please go through the playlist diode and diode application on the playlist page of the channel.

[@yzx666]

Yep

[@chimpirirohithreddy5728]

What's the exact value of RMS voltage? V/√2 or V/2. In other video it's shown asV/√2 and in this video it's V/2.

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

The RMS value depends on the waveform. For the half wave rectifier, it is Vm/2. For the full wave rectifier, it is Vm/√2. I hope it will clear your doubt.

[@chimpirirohithreddy5728]

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS Thanks Before I haven't seen the derivation.

[@kanishkasingh1439]

sir charging of capacitor depends upon the time constant then how could we say it will get charged by Vm ??

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

During the positive half cycle, the capacitor will charge through the series resistance of the diode. (The resistance of the diode in the forward bias condition). If we assume the ideal diode, then its series resistance is zero. Of course, to charge the capacitor, we also need voltage source. Here this Vin will act as a voltage source for that. And during positive half cycle, the capacitor will get charged upto the peak voltage Vm. The RC time constant tells us, how fast the capacitor charges. But for charging the capacitor, we need a supply voltage. I hope, it will clear your doubt.

[@Jawadmehdi736]

I am in class 1 still i understand rectifiers

[@sleepdeprived6586]

I'm in kg and I do too

[@maitreyeeguha6213]

Why input frequency equals to output frequency in half wave rectification?

[@noweare1]

Because the output waveform repeats itself at the same time as a sine wave repeats itself. Plot one on top of the other and you will see.

[@christihopemajige7736]

Why the output of half wave rectification fall in pulses?

[@NickFern02]

Sir at 6:35 Vrms should be Vm/square root(2)

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

For a sinewave, the RMS value is Vm / √2. For the half-wave rectifier, it is Vm /2. For derivation, you can check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2O2fnxpZqqag6M

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

I wonder why RMS Value is Vm X 0.5 and not Vm X 0.707. Frank

[@joshuamariano1663]

Does Vm mean max voltage?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Yes, its the maximum voltage of the sine wave.

[@pulseshortfilms126]

But, why load resistor is used in circuit ???

[@shafimohamedshafimohamed7991]

What will a half wave rectifier produce

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

As I mentioned in the video, if the sine wave is applied as an input, it only allows only one half cycle to pass through it. (depending on how the diode is connected). So at the output, there will be only either positive or the negative half of the sinewave.

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

You forgot to multiply the efficiency by 100

[@zahra.1902]

Hi Sir! How can we get a negative wave only?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Just reverse the direction of the diode.

[@zahra.1902]

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS OK THANK YOU !!!!

[@turaladigozelov3238]

Man after one diod, Current will be AC or DC ?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

The output would be pulsating DC. It won't be exact DC signal. After one diode, ( depending on how the diode is arranged) you will get either positive or negative half cycle of the sine wave. After passing that signal through the filter circuit, we can get the DC voltage. ( Still It will have ripples)

[@koushikvallam9277]

can we have pdf notes dude

[@Uday_Constructions]

Why should we use only silicon voltage

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Because most of the diodes which are being used are silicon diodes.

[@amanmotghare7196]

we want half wave rectifier numerical problems

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

It has been covered on the second channel. Please check diode and diode application playlist.

[@tamervids9479]

[@bhadreshvk]

In summary table efficiency listed is wrong

[@mousumibiswas6174]

RMS voltage is not Vm/2, it's Vm/root2

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

For half- wave rectifier, it is Vm /2. For more information, please go through this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2O2fnxpZqqag6M

[@-Arunks]

Plz put subtitile

[@silent_girl4249]

Can you provide notes

[@raydenelder9695]

But can't understand what is ripple ?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

In very simple terms, the ripple is the fluctuations in the output waveform. Theatrically, the output of the rectifier circuit should be pure DC. But actually some fluctuations are still present in the output.
