Half-Wave Rectifiers | Chapter 3

In this video, we explore Chapter 3 of Power Electronics, focusing on Half-Wave Rectifiers, one of the most fundamental AC-to-DC conversion circuits in power electronics. We begin by explaining how a simple electronic switch and diode can be used to create a DC component from an AC source, starting with half-wave rectifiers supplying resistive loads. From there, we extend the analysis to RL loads, showing how inductance affects current continuity, waveform shape, and energy transfer. We also discuss commutation effects, the influence of source inductance, and how real-world non-idealities shape rectifier behavior. Throughout the chapter, PSpice simulations are used to visualize voltage and current waveforms and reinforce analytical results. By the end of this video, you’ll have a solid understanding of how half-wave rectifiers work, how different loads and components affect performance, and why these circuits form the foundation for more advanced power conversion systems.
