Working Principle
  • During the positive half cycle, diodes D1 and D2 conduct.
  • During the negative half cycle, diodes D3 and D4 conduct.
  • The output voltage is always positive due to rectification.
  • The inductor causes a delay in current rise/fall, leading to smoother output current compared to a purely resistive load.
  • There is a phase difference between voltage and current due to inductance.
