Measurement and Error
An engineer has to make a lot of measurements, collect and analyze data, and make
decisions about the validity of his approaches and procedures. He must have a clear idea
about the results he is going to obtain. In this respect, he may develop models of his
expectations and compare the outcomes from the experiments to those from the model. He
uses various measuring instruments whose reliabilities have outmost importance in
successes of his decisions. Characteristics of measuring instruments that are used in
selecting the proper ones are reviewed in the first section. Section 2 deals with analyses of
measurement data. Section 3 handles the analyses of uncertainties and establishment of
engineering tolerances.
1.1. Characteristics of Measuring Instruments
1.1.1. Definition of Terms
The characteristics of measuring instruments are specified using terms shortly defined
below. The full description of some of these terms will be provided later with examples.
True value: standard or reference of known value or a theoretical value
Accuracy: closeness to the true value; closeness with which an instrument reading
approaches the true or accepted value of the variable (quantity) being measured. It is
considered to be an indicator of the total error in the measurement without looking into the
sources of errors.

Precision: a measure of the reproducibility of the measurements; given a fixed value of a
variable, precision is a measure of the degree to which successive measurements differ
from one another i.e., a measure of reproducibility or agreement with each other for
multiple trials.
Sensitivity: the ability of the measuring instrument to respond to changes in the measured
quantity. It is expressed as the ratio of the change of output signal or response of the
instrument to a change of input or measured variable.
Resolution: the smallest change in measured value to which the instrument will respond,
i.e. the smallest incremental quantity that can be reliably measured.
Error: deviation from the true value of the measured variable.
Linearity: the percentage of departure from the linear value, i.e., maximum deviation of
the output curve from the best-fit straight line during a calibration cycle.
Tolerance: maximum deviation allowed from the conventional true value. It is not possible
to build a perfect system or make an exact measurement. All devices deviate from their
ideal (design) characteristics and all measurements include uncertainties (doubts). Hence,
all devices include tolerances in their specifications. If the instrument is used for highprecision applications, the design tolerances must be small. However, if a low degree of
accuracy is acceptable, it is not economical to use expensive sensors and precise sensing
components.

The static calibration for a multi-input instrument is carried out by keeping all inputs except
one at some constant values. The single input under study is varied over some range of
constant values, causing the output(s) to vary over some range of constant values. The
input-output relation developed in this way is called “static calibration”. A calibration curve
for a dual-input single-output system is shown in figure 2.1. The static sensitivity (S) is the
slope of

S is a constant for linear relation. Otherwise, S is a function of the input.
1.1.3. Accuracy and Precision
A measurement isn‟t very meaningful without an error estimate! No measurement made is
ever exact. The accuracy (correctness) and precision (number of significant figures) of a
measurement are always limited by apparatus used, skill of the observer and the basic
physics in the experiment and the experimental technique used to access it. The goal of the

experimenter is to obtain the best possible value of some quantity or to validate/falsify a
theory. What comprises a deviation from a theory? Every measurement must give the range
of possible value. In this section we will discuss the accuracy and precision with examples.
1.1.3.1 Accuracy
Accuracy is defined as the degree of conformity of a measured value to the true
(conventional true value – CTV) or accepted value of the variable being measured. It is a
measure of the total error in the measurement without looking into the sources of the errors.
Mathematically it is expressed as the maximum absolute deviation of the readings from the
CTV. This is called the absolute accuracy.

Example 1.1
A voltmeter is used for reading on a standard value of 50 volts, the following readings are
obtained: 47V, 52 V, 51 V, 48V.
Find accuracy of the voltmeter.
Solution
Conventional true value (CTV) = 50 volts,
Maximum (VMAX) = 52 volts and
Minimum (VMIN) = 47 volts.
CTV – VMIN = 50 – 47 = 3 volts;

VMAX – CTV = 52 – 50 = 2 volts.
Absolute accuracy = max of {3, 2} = 3 volts.
Relative accuracy = 3/50 = 0.06 and % accuracy = 0.06x100 = 6%
1.1.3.2. Precision
Precision is composed of two characteristics as conformity and the number of significant
figures.
Conformity
The conformity is the ability of an instrument to produce the same reading, or it is the
degree of agreement between individual measurements. So, it is also called repeatability or
reproducibility.
Mathematically it is expressed as “the absolute maximum deviation from the average of the
readings”, i.e.
Precision (Pr) = max {(VAV – VMIN ), (VMAX –VAV )}....................................... (2.5)
Vav: Average Value
1.1.3.3. Bias
The difference between CTV and average value (VAV) is called the bias. Ideally, the bias
should be zero. For a high quality digital voltmeter, the loading error is negligible yielding
bias very close to zero.
Bias = CTV - VAV .............................................................................................. (2.6)
In the previous example the average (VAV) = (47+48+51+52)/4 = 49.5 V
Pr = max {(49.5 – 47), (52 – 49.5)} = 2.5 volts. Thus,
Bias = 50 – 49.5 = 0.5 volt.

A consistent bias can be due to the presence of a systematic error or instrument loading.
Hence, eliminating the causes removes the bias. However, if the bias is consistent and
causes cannot be identified and/or eliminated, the bias can be removed by re-calibrating the
instrument.
Example 1.2
A known voltage of 100 volts (CTV = 100 V) is read five times by a voltmeter and
following readings are obtained: 104V, 103V, 105V, 103V, 105V. Find Accuracy and
Precision and write your comment on voltmeter.
Solution
Average reading = (1/5)x(104+103+105+103+105) = 104 volts.
Pr = max {(VAV – VMIN), (VMAX – VAV)} = max {(104 – 103), (105 – 104)} = 1 volt
Accuracy = max {(CTV – VMIN), (VMAX - CTV)}
= max {(100 – 103), (105 – 100)} =5 V
Bias = abs(average – CTV) = 104 – 100 = 4 volts.
If we re-calibrated the instrument to remove the bias, then the average reading = CTV.
The new readings would be 100, 99, 101, 99, 101
Hence, after re-calibration, average = CTV = 100 volts, and accuracy = precision = 1 volt.
1.1.4. Accuracy versus Precision
The distinction between accuracy and precision can be illustrated by an example: two
voltmeters of the same make and model may be compared. Both meters have knife-edged
pointers and mirror-backed scales to avoid parallax, and they have carefully calibrated

scales. They may therefore be read to the same precision. If the value of the series
resistance in one meter changes considerably, its readings may be in error by a fairly large
amount. Thereforethe accuracy of the two meters may be quite different. To determine
which meter is in error, a comparison measurement with a standard meter should be made.
Accuracy refers to the degree of closeness or conformity to the true value at the quantity
under measurement. Precision refers to the degree of agreement within a group of
measurements or instruments. The target-shooting example shown in figure 2.2 illustrates
the difference.
Figure 1.2. An illustration of accuracy and precision.
The high accuracy, poor precision situation occurs when the person hits all the bullets on a
target plate on the outer circle and misses the bull‟s eye. In the second case, all bullets hit
the bull‟s eye and spaced closely enough leading to high accuracy and high precision. The
bullet hits are placed symmetrically with respect to the bull‟s eye in the third case but
spaced apart yielding average accuracy but poor precision. In the last example, the bullets
hit in a random manner, hence poor accuracy and poor precision.

The scatter graph in figure 2.3 shows an alternative way of presenting the accuracy and
precision. Same quantity was measured three times by 5 different analyst or methods or
measuring instruments. Distribution of readings around the true value indicates the most
accurate, most precise and least accurate and least precise readings. The last reading is too
far away from the true value and from other readings that may indicate a systematic error.
Figure 1.3. An illustration of presenting the accuracy and precision.
Precision is composed of two characteristics as stated: conformity and the number of
significant figures to which a measurement may be made. Consider, for example, that the
insulation resistance of a transformer has the true value 2,475,653 Ω. It is measured by an
ohmmeter, which consistently and repeatedly indicates 2.5 MΩ. But can the observer
"read" the true value from the scale? His estimates from the scale reading consistently yield

a value of 2.5 MΩ. This is as close to the true value as he can read the scale by estimation.
Although there are no deviations from the observed value, the error produced by the
limitation of the scale reading is a precision error. The example illustrates that conformity
is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for precision because of the lack of significant
figures obtained. Similarly, precision is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for
accuracy. Too often the beginning student is inclined to accept instrument readings at face
value. He is not aware that the accuracy of a reading is not necessarily guarantied by its
precision. In fact, good measurement technique demands continuous skepticism as to the
accuracy of the results. In critical work, good practice dictates that the observer make an
independent set of measurements, using different instruments or different measurement
techniques, not subject to the same systematic errors. He must also make sure that the
instruments function properly and are calibrated against a known standard, and that no
outside influence affects the accuracy of his measurements.
1.1.6. Types of Errors (Uncertainties)
No measurement can be made with perfect accuracy, but it is important to find out what the
accuracy actually is and how different errors have entered into the measurement. A study of
errors is a first step in finding ways to reduce them. Such a study also allows us to
determine the accuracy of the final test result. Errors may come from different sources and
are usually classified under three main headings as:
Gross errors: largely human errors, among them misreading of instruments, incorrect
adjustment and improper application of instruments, and computational mistakes.

Systematic (determinate) errors: shortcomings of the instruments, such as defective or
worn parts, and effects of the environment on the equipment or the user. They are
sometimes called bias due to error in one direction- high or low. They are generally
originated from a known cause such as result from mis-calibrated device, experimental
technique that always gives a measurement higher (or lower) than the true value, operator‟s
limitations and calibration of glassware, sensor, or instrument. Their effects can be
minimized by trying a different method for the same measurement. They can be corrected
when determined.
Systematic errors may be of a constant or proportional nature as illustrated in figure 2.5.
The constant error influences the intercept while the proportional error influences the
slope.
Figure 1.5. Constant and proportional type error
Random (indeterminate) errors: those due to causes that cannot be directly established

have no control over them. Their random nature causes both high and low values to average
out. Multiple trials help to minimize their effects. We deal with them using statistics.
Figure 2.6 provides a schematic summary of errors and their possible means of elimination.
For example, errors caused by the loading effect of the voltmeter can be avoided by using it
intelligently. A low-resistance voltmeter should not be used to measure voltages at the input
of a voltage amplifier. In this particular measurement, a high-input impedance voltmeter
(such as a digital voltmeter - DVM) is required. Gross and systematic errors cannot be
treated mathematically. They can be avoided only by taking care in reading and recording
the measurement data. Good practice requires making more than one reading of the same
quantity, preferably by a different observer. Never place complete dependence on one
reading but take at least three separate readings, preferably under conditions in which
instruments are switched off-on.
The error may be originated from the sampling of the source, preparation of the samples
and measurement and analysis of the measurand. Care must be taken so that the sample is
representative of the whole population (homogeneous vs. heterogeneous). No unwanted
additions or deletions are allowed during the preparatory phase. Finally, calibration of the
measuring instrument using standard measurands or standard solutions is done as frequent
as defined by the equipment manufacturer. One way to assess total error is to treat a
reference standard as a sample. The reference standard would be carried through the entire
process to see how close the results are to the reference value.

Two different voltmeters are used to measure the voltage
across resistor RB in the circuit of Figure 1. The meters are as
follows.
Meter A

(c) The total resistance that meter B presents to the circuit is

The parallel combination of RB and meter B is
Re2 = (RB x RTB)/(RB + RTB) = (5kx200k)/(5k+200k) = 4.88 k
Therefore, the voltage reading obtained with meter B, determined by use of the voltage

Errors caused by the loading effect of the voltmeter can be avoided by using it intelligently.
For example, a low-resistance voltmeter should not be used to measure voltages in a
vacuum tube amplifier. In this particular measurement, a high-input impedance voltmeter
(such as VTVM or TVM) is required. A large number of gross errors can be attributed to
carelessness or bad habits, such as improper reading of an instrument, recording the result
differently from the actual reading taken, or adjusting the instrument incorrectly. Consider
the case in which a multi-range voltmeter uses a single set of scale markings with different
number designations for the various voltage ranges. It is easy to use a scale which does not
correspond to the setting of the range selector of the voltmeter. A gross error may also
occur when the instrument is not set to zero before the measurement is taken; then all the
readings are off. Errors like these cannot be treated mathematically. They can be avoided
only by taking care in reading and recording the measurement data. Good practice requires
making more than one reading of the same quantity, preferably by a different observer.
Never place complete dependence on one reading but take at least three separate readings,
preferably under conditions in which instruments are switched off-on

12.8 mA, 12.2 mA, 12.5 mA, 13.1 mA, 12.9 mA, and 12.4 mA. Calculate

Measurement of Electrical Current Voltage and Resistance
2.1 Introduction
A device called “the ammeter” measures the current in an electric circuit. It is connected in
series with the circuit element in which the current is to be determined. The voltage is
measured by “the voltmeter”. It is connected in parallel with the circuit element to
determine the voltage across. Eventually, the ammeter requires breaking the current loop to
place it into the circuit. The voltmeter connection is rather easy since it is connected
without disturbing the circuit layout. Therefore, most electrical measurements prefer
determination of the voltage rather than the current due the ease of measurement.
Connections of ammeters and voltmeters are illustrated in figure 5.1. Resistance is defined
by the Ohm‟s law as the ratio of voltage and current in a circuit element. The device that
measures the resistance is called “the ohmmeter”. It applies a voltage from a constant (DC)
voltage source (usually from an antennal battery) and measures the current passing through
using an ammeter.

Figure 5.1. Connections for an ammeter and a voltmeter.
2.2 Instrument Loading
Ideal ammeter has zero internal resistance and no voltage drop across it. Ideal voltmeter has
infinite internal (meter) resistance and draws no current from the circuit. The practical
ammeter can be symbolized by an ideal ammeter with an added series resistance that
represents the meter resistance. Similarly, the practical voltmeter can be denoted by an
ideal voltmeter in parallel with the meter resistance. These two models are illustrated in
figure 5.2. Eventually the practical ammeter has a voltage drop across and the practical
voltmeter has a current drawn from the circuit.
All measuring instruments draw energy from the source of measurement. This is called
“the loading effect of the instrument”. Hence, all measurements include errors due to
instrument loading. If the energy extracted by the instrument is negligibly small compared
to the energy that exists in the source, then the measurement is assumed to be close to
perfect, and the loading error is ignored.

Any electrical circuit can be modeled by a voltage source VT and a series resistance RT as
illustrated in figure 5.3. The circuit is completed when the load resistance RL is connected
across the output terminals and a load current IL flows through the load. An ammeter can
be placed in series with the load to measure this current.

In the ideal condition, RM = 0 and the true value of the current is
The error is the difference between the measured value and the true value, and generally
expressed as the percentile error which is:
Hence, the loading error due to the ammeter can be found as:
Loading error can be ignored if RM<<(RT+RL) which is satisfied in most applications.
2.2.2 Loading Errors in Voltmeters
In voltage measurement, the meter is connected in parallel with load resistor as shown in
figure 5.4. The true value of the voltage across the resistor is (without the meter)

As the meter is connected, RM becomes in parallel with RL and effective load resistance
becomes
RLeff ≅ RL if RM>>RL. The voltage measured by the meter is
2.2.3 Instrument ‘loading’ effect
Some measuring instruments depend for their operation on power taken from the circuit in
which measurements are being made. Depending on the „loading‟ effect of the instrument
(i.e. the current taken to enable it to operate), the prevailing circuit conditions may change.
The resistance of voltmeters may be calculated since each have a stated sensitivity (or
„figure ofmerit‟), often stated in „k Ω per volt‟ of f.s.d. A voltmeter should have as high a
resistance as possible – ideally infinite.
In a.c. circuits the impedance of the instrument varies with frequency and thus the loading
effect of the instrument can change.

Problem The current flowing through a resistor of 5 kΩ±0.4% is measured as 2.5mA with
an accuracy of measurement of ±0.5%. Determine the nominal value of the voltage across
the resistor and its accuracy.
Solution
Voltage, V = IR = (2.5×10−3)(5×103) =12.5V.
The maximum possible error is 0.4% + 0.5% = 0.9%
Hence the voltage, V =12.5V±0.9% of 12.5V
= 0.9/100×12.5= 0.1125V = 0.11V correct to 2 significant figures. Hence the voltage V
may also be expressed as 12.5±0.11 volts (i.e. a voltage lying between 12.39V and
12.61V).
Problem 1
A current of 20 A flows through two ammeters A and B joined in series. Across A, the
potential difference is 0.2 V and across B it is 0.3 V. Find how the same current will divide
between A and B when they are joined in parallel.
Solution
Solution The two ammeters are connected in series in Fig. 2.6

Example 7.1
Two incandescent lamps with 80 Ω and 120 Ω resistances are connected in series with a
200 V dc source. Find the errors in measurement of power in the 80 Ω lamp using a
voltmeter with internal resistance of 100 kΩ and an ammeter with internal resistance of
0.1 mΩ, when (a) the voltmeter is connected nearer to the lamp than the ammeter, and (b)
when the ammeter is connected nearer to the lamp than the voltmeter
Solution Assuming both the instruments to be ideal, i.e., the voltmeter with infinite
internal impedance and ammeter with zero internal impedance, the current through the
series circuit should be = 200/(80 + 120) = 1 A
Hence, true power consumed by the 80 Ω lamp would have been = 12 X 80 = 80 Ω
However, considering the internal resistance of the ammeter and voltmeter, the equivalent
circuit will look like Figure 7.3.

Problem Find the total resistance for two resistors, R1 and R2 connected in (a) series, and
(b) parallel.
R1 = 50 Ω ± 5%, R2 = 100 Ω ± 5%
Note: Assuming that the 5% tolerance values for each resistor are not correlated, the
uncertainty values can be treated as independent uncertainties, which means they can be
added in quadrature. The more conservative approach is to treat these uncertainties as
correlated, so that they always combine in the same direction (upper/lower bound method
or worst-case scenario). For this example, the uncertainties will be treated as uncorrelated.
a) RT = R1 + R2 = (50 Ω± 2.5 Ω) + (100 Ω ± 5 Ω) = 150 Ω ± 5.6 Ω = 150 Ω ± 4%
RT = (150 ± 6) Ω
Note: The total resistance is larger than either of the individual resistors, but the relative
uncertainty of RT (4%) is smaller than the tolerance of either resistor in series (5%).
b) 1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 = (1/50 ± 5%) Ω -1 + (1/100 ± 5%) Ω -1
1/RT = (0.02 ± 0.001) Ω -1 + (0.01 ± 0.0005) Ω -1 = (0.03 ± 0.0011) Ω -1 = 0.03 Ω -1 ± 3.7%
RT = 33.3 Ω ± 3.7% = (33 ± 1) Ω
Note: The total resistance is smaller than either of the individual resistors in parallel, and
the relative uncertainty of RT (4%) is also less than the tolerance of either resistor.

Problem
When two resistors are connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is
2, and when they are connected in series, their equivalent resistance is 9.
What are the values of the resistors?
Solution
When R1 and R2 are connected in parallel, the resulting resistance is (R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2). When
connected in series the total resistance is R1 + R2.
So Solve:
(R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2) = 2
and R1 + R2 = 9
R1 = 9-R2
((9-R2) x R2) / 9 = 2
9R2 - R2^2 = 18
-R2^2 + 9 R2 -18 =0
R2=6, R1=3

Diode
Diodes allow electricity to flow in only one direction. Diodes are the electrical version of a
valve and early diodes were actually called valves.
The schematic symbol of a diode is shown below. The arrow of the circuit symbol shows
the direction in which the current can flow.
The diode has two terminals, a cathode and an anode as shown in Figure 1.
If a negative voltage is applied to the cathode and a positive voltage to the anode, the diode
is forward biased and conducts. The diode acts nearly as a short circuit. If the polarity of

the applied voltage is changed, the diode is reverse biased and does not conduct. The diode
acts very much as an open circuit.
Finally, if the voltage vD is more negative than the Reverse Breakdown voltage (also called
the Zener voltage, VZ), the diode conducts again, but in a reverse direction. The voltage
versus current characteristics of a silicon diode is shown in Figure 2.

3.1.1 Forward Voltage Drop
Electricity uses up a little energy pushing its way through the diode, rather like a person
pushing through a door with a spring. This means that there is a small voltage across a

conducting diode, it is called the forward voltage drop and is about 0.7V for all normal
diodes which are made from silicon. The forward voltage drop of a diode is almost constant
whatever the current passing through the diode so they have a very steep characteristic
(refer to current-voltage graph).
3.1.2 Reverse Voltage
Though we say that a diode does not conduct in the reverse direction, there are limits to the
reverse electrical pressure that can be applied. The manufacturers of diodes specify a peak
inverse voltage (PIV) that the diode can safely withstand. If this is exceeded, the diode will
fail and allow a large current to flow in the reverse direction. This voltage is also called the
Reverse Breakdown voltage.
3.1.3 Ideal Diode
For most practical applications, the operating voltage is high, and the forward voltage drop
is negligible in comparison. The voltage-current characteristics of a diode (shown in figure
3) suggest that we can use the following model of an ideal diode for all practical purposes
(i.e., ignoring the forward voltage drop).
The ideal diode acts as a short circuit for forward currents and as an open circuit with
reverse voltage applied.

3.2 Diode Rectifier Circuits
One of the important applications of a semiconductor diode is in rectification of AC signals
to DC. Diodes are very commonly used for obtaining DC voltage supplies from the readily
available AC voltage.
There are many possible ways to construct rectifier circuits using diodes. The three basic
types of rectifier circuits are:
1. The Half Wave Rectifier
2. The Full Wave Rectifier
3. The Bridge Rectifier
In the remaining sections of this chapter, we will study the operation of these circuits in
detail, and study their application in power supply circuits.
3.3 Half-wave Rectifier
The easiest rectifier to understand is the half wave rectifier. A simple half-wave rectifier
using an ideal diode and a load is shown in Figure 4.

Let‟s look at the operation of this single diode rectifier when connected across an
alternating voltage source vs.
Since the diode only conducts when the anode is positive with respect to the cathode,
current will flow only during the positive half cycle of the input voltage.

The supply voltage is given by:

is the angular frequency in rad/s.
We are interested in obtaining DC voltage across the “load resistance” RL.
During the positive half cycle of the source, the ideal diode is forward biased and operates
as a closed switch.
The source voltage is directly connected across the load. During the negative half cycle, the
diode is reverse biased and acts as an open switch. The source voltage is disconnected
from the load. As no current flows through the load, the load voltage vo is zero. Both the

load voltage and current are of one polarity and hence said to be rectified. The waveforms
for source voltage vS and output voltage vo are shown in figure 5.
Figure 5: Source and output voltages
We notice that the output voltage varies between the peak voltage Vm and zero in each
cycle. This variation is called “ripple”, and the corresponding voltage is called the peak-topeak ripple voltage, Vp-p.
Average load voltage and current
If a DC voltmeter is connected to measure the output voltage of the half-wave rectifier (i.e.,
across the load resistance), the reading obtained would be the average load voltage Vave,
also called the DC output voltage. The meter averages out the pulses and displays this
average.

The output voltage waveform and average voltage are shown in figure 6.
Figure 6: Output voltage and average voltage for half-wave rectifier
The output vo may be viewed as a DC voltage plus a ripple voltage. As we can see, the
output has a large amount of ripple.
Average Load Current
Just as we can convert a peak voltage to average voltage, we can also convert a peak
current to an average current. The value of the average load current is the value that would
be measured by a DC ammeter.

where IL is the average current passing through the load resistance.
Peak Inverse Voltage
The maximum amount of reverse bias that a diode will be exposed to is called the peak
inverse voltage or PIV.
For the half wave rectifier, the value of PIV is:
The reasoning for the above equation is that when the diode is reverse biased, there is no
voltage across the load.
Therefore, all of the secondary voltage (Vm) appears across the diode. The PIV is
important because it determines the minimum allowable value of reverse voltage for any
diode used in the circuit.

A 50Ω load resistance is connected across a half wave rectifier. The input supply voltage is
230V (rms) at 50Hz. Determine the DC output (average) voltage, peak-to-peak ripple in the
output voltage (Vp-p), and the output ripple frequency (fr).
Solution
The peak amplitude of the source voltage can be calculated as:
√
Output DC voltage:
The peak-to-peak ripple voltage is the difference between the maximum and the minimum
in the vo waveform.
Therefore,
Vp-p = Vm- 0= 325.3V
Percentage ripple = (Vp-p/Vave) x 100 = 314%
The ripple is at the supply frequency of 50 Hz.
Hence fr=50 Hz
We notice that the “percentage ripple” is 314%, which is very large, and undesirable. This
ripple can be reduced by adding a capacitor across the load resistor. The capacitor acts to
filter (reduce) the ripple voltage, as we will see later.

The purpose of a power supply is to take electrical energy in one form and convert it into
another. There are many types of power supply. Most are designed to convert high voltage
AC mains electricity to a suitable low
voltage supply for electronics circuits and other devices such as computers, fax machines
and telecommunication equipment. In Singapore, supply from 230V, 50Hz AC mains is
converted into smooth DC using AC-DC power supply.
A power supply can by broken down into a series of blocks, each of which performs a
particular function. A transformer first steps down high voltage AC to low voltage AC. A
rectifier circuit is then used to convert AC to DC. This DC, however, contains ripples,
which can be smoothened by a filter circuit. Power supplies can be „regulated‟ or
„unregulated‟. A regulated power supply maintains a constant DC output voltage through
„feedback action‟. The output voltage of an unregulated supply, on the other hand, will not
remain constant. It will vary depending on varying operating conditions, for example when
the magnitude of input AC voltage changes.
Main components of a regulated supply to convert 230V AC voltage to 5V DC are shown
below.

Figure 7: Block diagram of a regulated power supply
Power supplies are designed to produce as little ripple voltage as possible, as the ripple can
cause several problems.
For Example
1. In audio amplifiers, too much ripple shows up as an annoying 50 Hz or 100 Hz
audible hum.
2. In video circuits, excessive ripple shows up as “hum” bars in the picture.
3. In digital circuits it can cause erroneous outputs from logic circuits.
3.5 Half-wave Rectifier with Capacitor Filter
The capacitor is the most basic filter type and is the most commonly used. The half-wave
rectifier for power supply application is shown below. A capacitor filter is connected in
parallel with the load. The rectifier circuit is supplied from a transformer.
Circuit operation
The operation of this circuit during positive half cycle of the source voltage is shown in
figure 8. During the positive half cycle, diode D1 will conduct, and the capacitor charges
rapidly. As the input starts to go negative, D1 turns off, and the capacitor will slowly
discharge through the load (figure 9).

(b) When the next pulse does arrive, it charges the capacitor back to full charge as shown
on the right. The thick line shows the charge – discharge waveform at the capacitor.
(c) The load sees a reasonably constant DC voltage now, with a ripple voltage on top of it.
The operation can be analyzed in detail using figure 11.
During each positive half cycle, the capacitor charges during the interval t1 to t2. During
this interval, the diode will be forward biased. Due to this charging, the voltage across the
capacitor vo will be equal to the AC peak voltage Vm on the secondary side of the
transformer at t2 (assuming diode forward voltage drop is zero).
The capacitor will supply current to load resistor RL during time interval t2 to t3. During
this interval, diode will be reverse biased since the AC voltage is less than the output
voltage vo. Due to the large energy stored in the capacitor, the capacitor voltage will not
reduce much during t2 to t3, and the voltage vo will remain close to the peak value. As can
be seen, addition of the capacitor results in much better quality output voltage.

Figure 11: Output voltage waveform of half-wave rectifier with capacitor filter
Average load voltage
In practical applications, a very large capacitor is used so that the output voltage is close to
the peak value. The average voltage (also called DC output voltage) across the load can
therefore be approximated to:
Calculation of capacitance
The voltage waveforms show a small AC component called “ripple” present in the output
voltage. This ripple can be minimized by choosing the largest capacitance value that is
practical. The capacitor is typically “electrolytic” type, and is very large (several hundreds
or even thousands of microfarads). We can calculate the required value of the filter
capacitor as follows.
The charge removed from the capacitor during the discharge cycle (i.e., t2 to t3) is:

Where IL is the average load current and T is the period of the AC voltage. As the interval
t1 to t2 is very small, the discharge time can be approximated to T.
If Vp-p is the peak-to-peak ripple voltage, and C is the capacitance, the charge removed
from the capacitor can also be expressed as:
From these two equations, capacitance C can be calculated as:
Example 2
In the circuit of example 1, a 10000µF filter capacitor is added across the load resistor. The
voltage across the secondary terminals of the transformer is 230V (rms).
Determine the DC output voltage (i.e. average voltage), load current, peak-to-peak ripple
in the output voltage, and the output ripple frequency.
