Half Wave Bridge Rectifier Diagram. As show in above diagram half wave rectifier have one pn junction diode. Generally all these blocks combination is called a regulated dc power supply that powers various electronic appliances.
It is connected in the circuit as shown below. The ac supply to be rectified is generally given through a transformer. A full wave rectifier is more efficient and has a smoother output than a half wave rectifier.
A full wave rectifier circuit diagram.
A full wave rectifier is more efficient and has a smoother output than a half wave rectifier. The circuit has an alternative voltage source. The first stage of the circuit is a transformer which is a step down type that changes the amplitude of the input voltage. So which allows the current to flow in only one direction.
