How to choose the capacitor in the rectifier circuit?

Generally, the value of the capacitor satisfies R*C=(3-5)T, where R is the load resistance, which is equal to the ratio of the DC voltage of the DC output to the DC output current; C is the capacity of the filter capacitor; T is the rectification The repetition frequency of the post-pulsating DC voltage. After this selection, it is completely possible to supply power to electronic devices that do not have voltage regulation requirements. This formula is not strictly required to obey. If there is a voltage regulator circuit behind the filter, the filter capacitor takes a small point, but the voltage regulator circuit must be fully functional, and the pressure compensation at both ends is very large. It should be a relatively strong voltage regulation capability. As for the withstand voltage of the filter capacitor, for the half-wave rectification and full-wave rectification circuits, the withstand voltage of the filter capacitor is required to be larger than the maximum value of the input AC voltage of the rectifier circuit.

How does the controllable rectifier circuit control the output voltage?

The controllable rectifier circuit is usually a thyristor rectifier circuit, and its output voltage (effective value) can be controlled by adjusting its conduction angle.

What is a half-wave rectifier circuit?

Half-wave rectification circuit: Half-wave rectification is a common circuit that uses the unidirectional conduction characteristics of a diode to rectify. The rectification method of removing half a week and remaining half a cycle is called half-wave rectification. The function is to convert AC power to DC power, that is, rectification.

3, single-phase half-wave controllable rectifier with inductive load operation (in production practice, most of the load is a resistive load, such as the excitation winding of various motors, electromagnet coil, etc. If ωL ≥ R is called inductive load Such as the field winding of the motor)

The key to analyzing the working condition of the rectifying circuit with resistive load is that the inductor has a resistance to the current change, so the current flowing through the inductor cannot be abruptly changed. The working waveform is shown in Figure 2-2. In order to solve the contradiction that the average value Ud is small when φ is large, a freewheeling diode is connected in parallel across the load of the rectifier circuit, so that no negative portion appears in Ud.

If L is large enough, ωL "R", that is, the load is an inductive load. During the VT off period, the VDR can be continuously turned on, so that the id is continuous, and the id waveform is close to a horizontal line, as shown in Figure 2-4f.

The single-phase half-wave controllable rectifier circuit is characterized by simplicity, but the output current ripple is large, and the secondary side current of the transformer contains a DC component, which causes the transformer core to be DC magnetized. In order to make the transformer core unsaturated, it is necessary to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the core and increase the capacity of the device. This circuit is rarely used in practice. The main purpose of analyzing this circuit is to establish the basic concept of the rectifier circuit by using its simple and easy to learn characteristics.
