Acknowledgement

The project could have never been


possible without the support of various
sources. It is extremely impossible to
thank every individual who has helped
me in completing this project. Some
people have helped in the basic
formularization and there were sources
that helped me in giving the ideas a
physical form/shape. I am extremely
grateful to my mentor,
Mr. Shekhar Jha for his invaluable
guidance in the project right from the
beginning. His vital support helped the
project to take a logical and suitable
shape. I take this opportunity to thank
the School authorities, for extending
their full support and cooperation in the
project. Last but not the least; I would
like to thank everyone who has ofered a
helping hand when required

Introduction

A full wave rectiier is a device which is


used to rectify all the alternating
current components in an alternating
supply and make it purely a direct
current. The two alternating halves of
an alternation current are rectiied in a
full wave rectiier which is an advantage
over a half wave rectiier. Most
electronic devices cannot withstand
very high voltage or alternating current
due to its intense high power. The use
of batteries in all devices is not
practical as their replacement and
durability is a huge problem as the
device has to be dismantled each time
for sucha replacement. So these rectiiers
are used in most of the electronic
devices like TV’s, Radios, Chargers,
and Lightings etc.

Working

1st when the A.C. is supplied to the


transformer, it steps down the 230V
main supply to 6 volts. It has a capability
of delivering a current of 500mA. The 6
volts A.C. appearing across the
secondary is the RMS value and the peak
value is 8.4 volts. During the 1st half
cycle of the A.C. input Diode D1 is
forward biased and a current ‘I’ lows in
the circuit in the direction S 1D1
ABEOS1. During this time diode D2 is
reverse biased. So it does not conduct
any electric current. During the next half
cycle, the diodeD2 is forward and D1 is
reversed. Hence D2 conducts current in
the direction S2D2 ABEOS2and D1 does
not conduct any current. In subsequent
half cycles of the A.C current the above
processes are repeated.
In both the half cycles it is clear that
current lows through the resistor in only
one direction ABE. Even though the
voltage across RL is unidirectional it will
still contain a few A.C components. This
is iltered and made smooth using a
capacitor, which ilters 99% of the A.C
current. A resistor is then used to adjust
the output voltage. Capacitor also
nearly ilters all A.C components from
the supply and resistance is adjusted for
the required output. As this is a simple
circuit, only one capacitor and a
resistance are being used. But there will
be slight factor of A.C. current still left in
the output but it is negligible. The
output Direct Current and voltage light
up the LED.
