How Bridge Rectifier Works? Animation

A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement to achieve full-wave rectification. The AC voltage generated is passed through a circuit of four diodes arranged as shown above and emerged converted into a more useful DC output. The Red color indicates that those diodes are in forward bias and the black color indicates that those diodes are in reverse bias. The arrows shows the direction of current flow. Even though the output is rectified, we can see that it contains ripples. At a particular time any of the two diodes will be Forward Biased and the other two will be Reverse Biased, as per the polarity at its Anode or Cathode. This creates two different paths for the current at the output for each cycle. However, the polarity of the nodes are not changing at the Output. Thus we are getting a Fully Rectified waveform at the output. Since there is no positive and negative half cycles, it is DC with ripples.

  1. it is DC with ripples.

    You don't get DC with ripples until you add an electrolytic.

    It is pulsating DC

  3. After that you need to filter and cut out signals to have DC in rectifier diode circuit by capcitors electrolityc and ceramic

  4. Nice article bro…But this is How VFD Saves Power & Basic Concept of VFDis useful in such a way that it saves an alternating current. Current transformer is useful in such a way that it produces an alternating current in its secondary winding which is proportional to the current measured in its primary winding. Thanks for sharing this post..Very use full information about electrical.. Also can you explain about below mentioned article. about electrical power system protection on Transformer Protection and Read more details about Power system protection

  6. LAX has as you would imagine a lot of different airport transportation options with the most used being the airport taxi and limo companies, which would be the very expensive options. Airport limos can be a good deal if you have a group that is too big for a taxi, if you charter the limousine it will work out to be comparable to a airport shuttle but you get to ride in style! The next best option if price was your major concern would be the multi stop airport shuttles which bundle one or two, or maybe on rare busy occasions, as many as 4 or 5 different locations in one general area together, so Encino and Tarzana or Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades, or Hermosa and Manhattan Beach. Many of the big hotels also have airport shuttles for their guests. Taxi Weybridge
