The experiment aims to simulate a single-phase full-wave uncontrolled rectifier with R and RL loads using MATLAB R2012a. It demonstrates the conversion of AC voltage to pulsating DC, highlighting the differences in output for resistive and inductive loads. The results indicate improved output quality with reduced ripple for the RL-load due to energy storage in the inductor.

AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT:


Simulation of Single-Phase full wave uncontrolled rectifier with R and RL-load.

OBJECTIVE:
1. A single phase full wave uncontrolled rectifier model consists of a single phase input of
314V, 50Hz, 4 diodes and a load. To develop a simulink model and find out its voltage and
current response.
a. R-Load with R = 6 Ω
b. RL-Load with R = 6 Ω, L= 31 mH

SOFTWARE REQUIRED:
MATLAB R2012a

THEORY:
A single-phase full-wave uncontrolled rectifier converts AC voltage to pulsating DC using
diodes. It employs either a center-tapped transformer with two diodes or a bridge configuration
with four diodes. During each half-cycle of the AC input, specific diodes conduct, allowing
current to flow through the load in the same direction.

For an R-load, the output voltage and current are proportional, with no energy storage. For an
RL-load, the inductor stores energy, causing the current to flow even during the non-conducting
period, smoothing the output waveform.

The rectifier’s performance is characterized by its output voltage, current waveforms, and ripple
factor, which depend on the load type. It is widely used in low-power DC applications.

RESULT ANALYSIS:
The experiment demonstrates rectification of AC to pulsating DC, showing continuous load
current and reduced ripple due to RL-load's smoothing effect.

CONCLUSION:
The experiment demonstrated that a single-phase full-wave uncontrolled rectifier with an RL
load efficiently converts AC to DC, producing a pulsating DC output. The load's inductance
smooths the waveform, reducing ripples and improving output quality for practical applications.
