Rectifiers&filters NOTES

This document discusses rectifiers and filters used in DC power supplies. It begins with a block diagram of a typical DC power supply showing the main components. The first section covers half wave and full wave rectifiers, deriving expressions for their ripple factor, efficiency, output voltage, current and power. The second section covers different filter circuits used after rectification - capacitor filters, inductor filters, L-section filters and CLC filters. It derives the ripple factor expressions for these filters and compares them. The document concludes with questions for students on the topics covered.
