Circuit Diagram

The aim of this page is to illustrate the effect of a smoothing capacitor across the load resistor, in addition to a dc link inductor. When both an inductor and a capacitor are used as filter elements, the ripple in output voltage is reduced by a fair amount. The inductor reduces the ripple in the current output of the bridge rectifier, whereas the capacitor reduces further the ripple in the voltage across the load resistor.
