Bridge Type Rectifier Diagram. As the name suggests the circuit includes a bridge circuit. The bridge rectifier is made up of four diodes namely d 1 d 2 d 3 d 4 and load resistor r l.
This type of rectifier is said to have a pulse number of three since the output voltage on the dc side contains three distinct pulses per cycle of the grid frequency. During the first half cycle. In the reverse direction the diode rectifier will.
The circuit diagram of bridge rectifier is given above.
Thus during the first half cycle diodes d1 and d 3 are forward biased and current flows through arm ab enters the load resistance r. The main advantage of. Bridge rectifiers are the most commonly used type of rectifier because they combine the benefits of a full wave rectifier while being only slightly more expensive than a half wave rectifier.
