Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFRipple frequency
It is the frequency of the residual AC voltage after it has been rectified to DC in a power supply.
The no. of cycles in the output waveform as compared to the input waveform gives the ripple frequency.
Ripple frequency for different types of rectifiers:
1ϕ half wave rectifier: fs
1ϕ full wave rectifier: 2fs
3ϕ half wave rectifier: 3fs
3ϕ full wave rectifier: 6fs
Explanation
Given, supply frequency (fs) = 50 Hz
Ripple frequency = 50 Hz
