The input of the single phase half wave rectifier is 60 W whereas the output is 24 W. Find out rectifier efficiency and power efficiency.
Solution
Rectifier efficiency
= ( Output DC Power / Input AC
Power ) × 100%
= ( 24 / 60 ) × 100%
= 40%
Power efficiency
- The input of the single half wave rectifier is 60 W , it means that 30 W for positive half cycle and remaining 30 W for negative half cycle.
- As the single phase half wave rectifier conducts only for half cycle therefore only 30 W for positive half cycle is converted into 24 W and remaining 6 watts as loss.
Power efficiency
= ( Output DC Power / Half of Input
AC Power ) × 100%
= ( 24 / 30 ) × 100%
= 80%
Therefore the rectifier efficiency is 40% whereas the
power efficiency is 80%.
