Alternating Current - AC• AC is produced when a coil of wire turns in a
magnetic field• ½ turn current is moving in one direction• Then ½ turn it moves in the other direction
• IF 3 coils of wire are wrapped around a core – they rotate 1/3 (120º apart) – then 3 different AC currents are generated
4
Rectification• Converts AC to DC• Located after Step up Transformer • On secondary side of Circuit• Can be single phase (1Φ) • Or 3 phase (3 Φ )
5
Rectification
• process of changing AC to pulsed DC• rectifier
– device that allows I to flow in only one direction– types valve tube solid state

Rectification
• purpose– convert HV AC to pulsed DC
for x-ray tube
• location– between HV secondary coil &
x-ray tube
• types– full wave -- most common– half wave -- limited use– self -- rarely

SOLID STATE - DIODES – Semi Conductor
• Allows current to only flow in one direction
• Most common type used in rectifiers

Solid State Rectifier
1) "n-type" material (donor) [similar to cathode]
– contains loosely bound e-
2) "p-type" material (acceptor) [similar to anode]
– spaces in molecular structure to accept e-

Rectification Process• rectifiers placed in circuit to convert AC
current to pulsed DC• methods
– suppress unwanted part of the AC (half wave rectification)
– redirect unwanted part of AC (full wave rectification)

AC – single phase
• Only ½ of cycle usable
• By converting other ½ more useful
• Draw back –• 100% ripple • (0-100-0) output
14
Single Phase – Full rectifiedVoltage
• 1Ø AC has a 100% voltage ripple

Single vs. Three Phase Power (cont.) Three phase (3Ø )
• power supplied/used w/ a new cycle beginning each 120°– results in three overlapping sine waves– 3 + pulses & 3 - pulses occur in the length of time of one complete
cycle (1/60s)– each wave can be rectified (3Ø6p)– pulses overlap reducing voltage ripple & Vmin

3Ø comparison to 1Ø
• 3Ø more efficient than 1Ø• 3Ø requires more complex circuitry• 3Ø more expensive to install
18
(3 Φ ) 3 PHASE
• LESS RIPPLE • MORE EFFIECIENT OUTPUT
• HIGH FREQUENCY – 1% RIPPLE• MOST EFFIEICENT – VERY EXPENSIVE
