LAB#3 a)-Design and simulation of Full wave rectifier by Center Tapped Transformer b)-Calculation of ripple factor: Theory:
A popular full-wave rectifier appears in Fig. with only two diodes but requiring a center-tapped (CT) transformer to establish the input signal across each section of the secondary of the transformer. During the positive portion of Vi applied to the primary of the transformer, the network will appear as shown in Fig. D1 assumes the short-circuit equivalent and D2 the open-circuit equivalent, as determined by the secondary voltages and the resulting current directions. The output voltage appears as shown in Fig.
Procedure:
Open the orcad software and draw neat and clean diagram in the window, Assign the parameter values and after making the simulation file run the simulation and note down the maximum value of the voltage is 5V.At the end find out the ripple factor by the following procedure.

Conclusion:
Therefore the ripple factor of the center tapped Rectifier is 0.483.
THEORY:
This type of single phase rectifier uses four individual rectifying diodes connected in a closed loop "bridge" configuration to produce the desired output. The main advantage of this bridge circuit is that it does not require a special centre tapped transformer, thereby reducing its size and cost. The single secondary winding is connected to one side of the diode bridge network and the load to the other side as shown below.
As the current flowing through the load is unidirectional, so the voltage developed across the load is also unidirectional the same as for the previous two diode full-wave rectifier, therefore the average DC voltage across the load is 0.637Vmax and the ripple frequency is now twice the supply frequency (e.g. 100Hz for a 50Hz supply).
COMPONENTS:
1) - Connecting Wires 2) - 4 diodes (D1N4001) 3) - AC Voltage Source (V sin) 4) - Load (A resistor of value 1k)
Procedure:
Draw the circuit diagram clearly and apply the differential voltage markers over the load (i-e R) make the simulation file and run the file to obtain the simulation results as shown. Then with the help of toggle cursor find Vmax=15V and thus find the Ripple factor.

Disadvantage
In practice, the half-wave rectifier is used most often in low-power applications because of their major disadvantages being. The output amplitude is less than the input amplitude, there is no output during the negative half cycle so half the power is wasted and the output is pulsed DC resulting in excessive ripple.

Ripplefactor
We can delay the triggering of the SCR, however, by inserting some resistance into the gate circuit, thus increasing the amount of voltage drop required before enough gate current triggers the SCR. In other words, if we make it harder for electrons to flow through the gate by adding a resistance, the AC voltage will have to reach a higher point in its cycle before there will be enough gate current to turn the SCR on. The result is in (Figure below)
Resistance inserted in gate circuit; less than half-wave current through load. With the half-sine wave chopped up to a greater degree by delayed triggering of the SCR, the load receives less average power (power is delivered for less time throughout a cycle). By making the series gate resistor variable, we can make adjustments to the time-proportioned power: (Figure below)
Increasing the resistance raises the threshold level, causing less power to be delivered to the load. Decreasing the resistance lowers the threshold level, causing more power to be delivered to the load. Unfortunately, this control scheme has a significant limitation. In using the AC source waveform for our SCR triggering signal, we limit control to the first half of the waveform's half-cycle. In other words, it is not possible for us to wait until after the wave's peak to trigger the SCR. This
means we can turn down the power only to the point where the SCR turns on at the very peak of the wave: (Figure below)
Components:
1)-Ac voltage source (Vsin) 2)-Two resistors R-load and Rvar 3)-A Thyristor (2N1595) 4)-A diode (D1N4001) 5)-Connecting Wires and ground
Procedure:
Open the software and draw neat and clean figure for the required circuit (whose simulation is required) as explained in the theory. Now put differential voltage markers across the load resistor and change the values of the variable resistor and note down the values of the firing angle time then by using the formula t find out the firing angle .Repeat the simulation 5 times. At the end we will find out that as the value of Rvar goes higher the firing angle of the thyristor increases.

LAB #08 Design & Simulation of Full wave Bridge Rectifier with Thyristors Theory:
When multiple SCRs are used to control power, their cathodes are often not electrically common, making it difficult to connect a single triggering circuit to all SCRs equally. An example of this is the controlled bridge rectifier shown here:
In any bridge rectifier circuit, the rectifying diodes (or in this case, the rectifying SCRs) must conduct in opposite pairs. SCR1 and SCR3 must be fired simultaneously, and likewise SCR2 and SCR4 must be fired together as a pair. As you will notice, though, these pairs of SCRs do not share the same cathode connections, meaning that it would not work to simply parallel their respective gate connections and connect a single voltage source to trigger both.
Apparatus:
1) - Voltage source (Vsin) 2) - 4 thyristors with code no. 2N1595 for BR and 2 for CT rectifier 3) - Load resistor (R) 4) - Center tapped transformer (XFRM_LIN/CT-SEC) 5) - Pulse signal (V pulse)
Procedure
Open the software and draw a neat and clean diagram of half wave rectifier, using the components described above. Before any thing else define the width of the pulse and assign specific values to the pulse signal. Now apply the voltage markers from the tool bar across the resistor, now the circuit becomes ready for simulation. Make new simulation profile and save it. Now simulate the circuit and take readings. a) - Perform first with center tapped transformer b) - Perform with full wave bridge rectifier
