    Understanding how this symmetric bridge rectifier works

    Let the following circuit: The diodes and SCR are supposed to be ideal, the supply source v(\theta) = V_m \sin(\theta) , let \phi \in (0, \pi) be the angular gate pulse for T1 and \pi + \phi be the angular gate pulse for T2, i want to understand why in the interval \theta \in (0, \phi)...

    Using DC voltmeter to measure RMS AC voltage

    Hello I have a DC voltmeter and I would like to design a simple circuit to that can allow measuring the RMS AC voltage on the same meter. I was wondering if using a bridge rectifier is good practice or does it have any drawbacks? The voltage range is 0-20Vrms, so: Vmax = Vrms/0.707 Vmax =...

    3-phase transformer intermittently shorts (or saturates) and intermittently hums loudly and intermittently stops giving output voltage

    Hello I have this problem as mentioned in the subject, which happens when I connect the transformer to a " 3-phase full wave controlled bridge rectifier ". I have a fully controlled bridge rectifier board of (TYN812RG) thyristors, and I want to trigger it through some firing board which I am...

    Bridge rectifier earthing

    I have a hydro turbine that generates 3 phase ac, I then rectifier it to run a grid tie inverter, I'm wondering if I should earth the negative output of the rectifier?

    Full-wave rectifier circuit showing half-wave rectification on oscilloscope?

    I'm new to electronics and decided to learn something new by trying to put together a small rectifier circuit that converts 24VAC to DC. So I put together a little full-wave rectifier circuit that consists of four diodes and an LED and ran into an issue when I tried to measure the DC output...

    how to get approximately 30V on Vout in this voltage source?

    hello everyone. i´m doing a voltage source and i want to get approximately 30V-500mA on Vout with the smallest ripple as possible. : i got a transformer 12 0 12 V and a 1000V 2A bridge rectifier and 4700uf 35V electrolytic capacitor. The thing is: after rectifying it it should give me 24 *...

    Powering a DC Motor using a Bridge Rectifier

    Hello, My treadmill has been sitting around ever since the motor-controller board broke. Since I could not find a replacement for the board, I thought why not build a power supply myself. I do not need fancy speed control; one single speed value is enough for me, probably the value that makes...

    AC/DC converter (110VAC to 12VDC, 120W)

    I'm looking to design a PCB that will have a 110VAC input and convert it to 24VDC output with a maximum load current of 5A. Is mounting the step down transformer on the PCB a good idea? What better ways are there to do it?

    Purpose of a rectifier in a positive oscillating circuit

    Hello, I found a circuit (transmitter) design that would create an oscillating magnetic field. Another circuit (receiver) would pick the induced voltage up and amplify it. Now as I understand it, the oscillating part has only positive voltage. But in the receiver part they use a recitfier. Why...

    Help with basic piezoelectric generator circuit design

    Hello, I want to experiment with the properties of piezoelectric generator devices. I am looking to get a few PZT devices where I can stress / impact the material to produce current. I have concept to use multiple PZT devices where they will be stressed simultaneously. The PZT devices output a...
