Formulae

Without Filter

• V_rms= V_m/2
• V_dc= V_m/π
• Ripple Factor= √[V_rms /V _dc] ²-1
• Efficiency= (V _dc/ V _rms)² x100

With Filter

• V_rms√V_rms²V_dc²/li>
• V_dc= V_m/π
• Ripple Factor= √[V_rms /V _dc] ²-1
• Efficiency=(V_dc/V_rms)²x100

Procedure

Without Filter

1. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram.
2. A 230 V, 50 Hz AC input given to primary side of the transformer where phase end of the secondary is connected to anode terminal of the diode.
3. Observe the output across the 1 K ohm load with use of CRO.
4. Plot its performance graph.
