Uncontrolled rectifiers
The diode rectifiers are referred to as
uncontrolled rectifiers .
The diode rectifiers give a fixed dc output voltage
.
Each diode conducts for one half cycle.
Diode conduction angle = 180 0 or radians.
We can not control the dc output voltage or the
average dc load current in a diode rectifier circuit.

Advantages
1.Operation is simple and faster
2.small size, less weight
3.Higher efficiency
Disadvantages
High ripple content on the output adds to motor
heating and commutation problems
Power factor in AC supply is low
Overload capacity is smaller
Switching of SCR distortion of supply voltage
and telephone inference may be produced
