Question

Define ripple factor and calculate the ripple factor of a half wave rectifier.

Answer 1

The efficiency of a half wave rectifier is 40.6% when RF is neglected. Ripple Factor (γ) Ripple content is defined as the amount of AC content present in the output DC. If the ripple factor is less, the rectifier performance will be more. The ripple factor value is 1.21 for a half wave rectifier.

• The value of ripple factor of single phase half wave rectifier is equal to 1.21.

• Since, ripple factor is the ratio of rms value of fluctuating ac component to the average value or dc value.
