Rectifier Definition and 162 Threads

Hi, I'm having a problem while running a simulation of a Bridge Rectifier on PSpice. This is my circuit schematic: http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/276/q1tasks2schematicsxp3.jpg Vs is at 15sin(100*pi*t). And this is the input and output waveforms plotted by PSpice...

I want to make a bridge rectifier circuit to give me 6v or 9v DC power from 220v 50-60 Hz AC supply. I know the circuit, but don't know which diodes and capacitors to buy for it. This would be the first time I'm doing something like this, so any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.

1. i have a transformor 12 v rms i want to do a full wave rectifier bridge with a capacitor and get a 12v dc 2. i need to know how i can calculat the capacitor needed and the resistor and wat to know how many voltage should the capacitor be (NB: i don't know wat is the current of the...

Homework Statement A half wave rectifier is supplying a load current of 100 mA. The input frequency is 60 Hz. Find the capacitor value required to limit the ripple ot 160 mVpp. Really... I can solve this I'm sure... But I'm wondering what formula I need to use... I've never been shown one...

Could anyone suggest what size and best type of bridge rectifier to use with this motor,Thrige Titan 10 HP, 7.5 KW,240V DC- 36.3 Amp,Excitation 150/300 V- 1.4/0.7 A. Also would I be able to run this motor off my house current of 240 V, This motor will be used to power a winch for pulling logs...

Hello I'm a beginner (Second Semester) at Electronics Engineering. In the attachment is the image of the filter rectifier circuit that I am analyzing. My professor has given us questions and their solutions but for my full wave filter rectifier analysis the numbers are not the same. The...

I made a (bridge) rectifier for a simple circuit that would make several LEDs light up. When it was finished, I used a multimeter to measure the voltages between several points and got the readings you can see in http://users.pandora.be/k-a-d/rectifier.jpg". Why is there still an AC voltage...

Hi:biggrin: , I am again, I want to know How I can make simple rectifier, If you can give me graph for rectifier. Thanks I appreciate it :approve:

[SOLVED] Thevenin equivalent of a half-wave rectifier Hello folks, I'm trying to wrap my head around the process of reducing a half-wave rectifier (w/ filter) with an AC input into a simple Thevenin circuit with a DC equivalent voltage. My brain seems to be stuck in "but the input is not...

I, in fact, know the correct Fourier representation for the following (it was given to me): f(t)=0 \text { if } -\pi \leq \omega t \leq 0 and f(t)=sin(\omega t) \text { if } 0 \leq \omega t \leq \pi \hrule I'm curious about the derivation that led to it -- specifically...

I've got a query on rectifiers, pls take a look at this diagram. If I switch the diode at the bottom around to face the opposite direction. Will I still get the same output wave? Or will I get a half-wave rectifier that looks like this? :confused:

I am putting together a control circuit for a DC motor. This motor requires 110 volts DC. It must be variable speed. I happen to have a nice continuously variable transformer box that goes smoothly from 0 to 130 volts. This should take care of the speed variations. I hooked this up to a...
