DC SOURCESBasic DC TheoryAnother type of full-wave rectifier circuit is the full-wave bridge rectifier. This circuit utilizesfour diodes. These diodes’ actions during each half cycle of the applied AC input voltage areshown in Figure 8. The output of this circuit then becomes a pulsating DC, with all of the wavesof the input AC being transferred. The output looks identical to that obtained from a full-waverectifier (Figure 7).Figure 8 Bridge Rectifier CircuitES-02 Page 10 Rev. 0
