What is Ripple and Ripple Factor?Formula of Ripple Factor

What is Ripple?

When the AC waveform is rectified with a rectifier unit, the rectified output is not perfectly DC rather the DC output has pulsating component called AC components.The pulsating components present in the DC output voltage is called the voltage ripples and the ripples in the DC current is called the current ripples.

Reasons of ripples in DC output?

The rectification compents like diode, silicon controlled rectifier, Insulated gate bipolar transistor cause the DC output of pulsating nature. The ripples are undesired in the DC output, however complete elimination of the ripples is impossible. Yes, the ripples can be reduced to a great extend by filtering the rectified DC output voltage. 

If we observe the rectified DC output of the full wave rectifier, the rectified DC output is not perfectly DC rather than the rectified DC voltage or current has AC components.


The output of the full wave rectifier has ripples. The average or DC voltage gets reduced due to presence of ripples in the rectified output voltage or current. The ripples in the output of the full wave rectifier is less than the ripples present in the half wave rectifier. 

Ripple Factor Definition

The ratio of r.m.s. value of a.c. component to the d.c. component in the rectifier output is known as the ripple factor.

The ripple factor is very important parameter for assessing the effectiveness of the rectifier. The lower ripple factor shows that the ripples in the DC output is less and the efficiency of the rectifier is better. The higher ripple factor shows that there are more flactuating ac component present in the rectified output.

Ripple Factor Formula


The r.m.s. value of rectified DC voltage is the vector sum of the AC components and DC component in the rectified output. 


Derivation of Ripple Factor Formula 




The rectified output does not have pure DC component but it has AC component as well. The AC component availble in the rectified DC cause lower rectification efficiency. The load current has both AC and DC component. Let the load current is IL and the load current iL has both AC ripple component and DC compont(Idc).

Ripple = iL Idc  = vL Vdc

Here, iL and vL are the output current and voltage through the load connected at the terminals of rectifier. Similarly, Vdc and Idc are the average value of load voltage and current. The rms value and the average value of the load current is as given below.












The rms value of the ripple current can be calculated as follows.

BT-BASIC commands used

8.10     Some of the most frequently used BT-BASIC commands used are: msi                               Changes default working directory. Mass storage is            Same as “msi” cat                               Catalogs (list)the node names in the specified directory.             get                               Brings the contents of a file into the system workspace.             load                             Same as “get”.             msi$                            Returns the directory pathname of the current working directory.             msi “..”                       Backs up one directory level.             findn                            Locates the next occurrence of the a given sting in the workspace. 8.11           If you wish to invoke the HP Board Graphics Viewer, type board graphics at the BT-BASIC command line and press the “ENTER” key on the keyboard. 8.12           A HP Board Graphics Viewer window should now appear

Perhitungan & Cara Merubah Kumparan Blender Dari 220 V Menjadi 12 V

          Seperti yang telah dijelaskan pada buku “menggulung motor listrik arus bolak-balik, servis peralatan listrik rumah tangga kelompok penggerak dan perbaikan peralatan listrik pertukangan”, bahwa motor penggerak yang digunakan pada perlatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan seperti blender, mixer, bor tembak, gerinda dsb menggunakan jenis motor universal. Motor universal adalah jenis motor listrik yang dapat disuplai dengan sumber listrik arus bolak-balik (AC) dan arus searah (DC). Jadi peralatan-peralatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan tersebut yang biasanya kita suplai dengan sumber listrik AC dari PLN atau Genset sebesar 220 V sebenarnya dapat juga kita suplai dengan sumber listrik DC yang tentunya tegangan juga harus sama yakni 220 V.           Yang menjadi permasalahan bagaimana kalau peralatan listrik rumah tangga atau pertukangan tersebut, sebagai contoh misalkan blender yang ingin digunakan atau dioperasikan pada tempat yang tidak terdapat sumber listrik PLN ata

Testhead

4.3         Testhead The testhead is that portion of the tester that supports the PIN, ASRU and Controller cards.   The testhead is divided into two BANKS and each BANK is divided into two MODULES, see figure 2 below.  Bank 1 contains modules 0 and 1, bank 2 contains modules 2 and 3.  The test fixtures are placed on the banks of the tester and locked down for board testing.  The testhead cards interface to the test fixture through the spring loaded pogo pin “nails” at the top edge on each of these card types. 4.4       Support Bay The support bay is a stand-alone cabinet that houses the power supplies for the Unit Under Test.  This bay also houses the test station power distribution unit and test station controller on earlier models. 4.5       Emergency Shutdown Switch The emergency shutdown switch is the large red button located at the lower left corner on the front of the testhead.  It turns off all AC power to the testhead, and is equivalent to turning off the m

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Saluran Listrik Jenis Saluran Udara dan Saluran Bawah Tanah

Berdasarkan pemasangannya,   saluran distribusi dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu : saluran udara (overhead line) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kawat penghantar yang ditompang pada tiang listrik. Sedangkan saluran bawah tanah (underground cable) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kabel-kabel yang ditanamkan di dalam tanah. 1.    Saluran Bawah Tanah (Underground Lines) Saluran distribusi yang menyalurkan energi listrik melalui kabel yang ditanam didalam tanah. Kategori saluran distribusi seperti ini adalah yang favorite untuk pemasangan di dalam kota, karena berada didalam tanah, maka tidak mengganggu keindahan kota dan juga tidak mudah terjadi gangguan akibat kondisi cuaca atau kondisi alam. Namun juga memilik kekurangan, yaitu mahalnya biaya investasi dan sulitnya menentukan titik gangguan dan perbaikannya. Kedua cara penyaluran memiliki keuntungan dan kerugian masing-masing. Keuntungan yang dapat diperoleh dari suatu jaringan bawah tanah adalah
