Duration: 1h
This lesson presents the basic operating theories of electronic power supplies, half-wave rectifiers, full-wave rectifiers, full-wave bridge rectifiers, capacitive input filters, and inductive input filters. The lesson shows how to calculate the expected DC output voltage for a half-wave rectifier, full-wave rectifier, and full-wave bridge rectifier.
Objectives:
- Identify and state the function of the major components in an electronic power supply
- Explain the operation of a half-wave rectifier circuit
- Calculate the expected DC output voltage and recognize the appropriate output waveform from a half-wave rectifier
- Explain the operation of a full-wave rectifier circuit
- Calculate the expected DC output voltage and recognize the output waveform from a full-wave bridge rectifier
- Explain the operation of capacitive and inductive input filters
