Half.Wave and Full-Wavt
RectificatiOn.

The ordinary type of rectifer
allows only one-half of the current
wave to pass and supresses the other
half. In such cases the alternating
current wave form shown in Figure
] Is reduced to that shown in Figure
2, with one-half of the wave passing
through and. the other half suppress
ed. This type Of rectification is good
enough for ordinary battery charS-
ing because very little actual loss
takes place when the two halves OF
the wave are not rectified. In select
ing a rectifier for a battery elimina-
tor. however, 1t is important that
both halves be rectified SO as to re-
duce the gaps. Full wave rectifica-
tion shown in Figure is obtained by
proper connection of two rectifier ele-
airy winding of the Step.down trans
former.
The diagram Of connections of the
ordinary half wave Balkite charger is
shown in Figure 4. Here an ordinary
single cell rectifier is used in connec-
ton with an ordinary two-Wlndlng
transformer. The lead electrode OF
the rectifier is connected with the
negative terminal of the storage bat
terry while the tantalum electrode is
connected with one end Of the second
airy winding of the step down trans
former as shown.
Current will flow through the cleo
trolyte in the cell only when the in
duced current iE the secondary cir
cult is flowing from the lead cleo
trode to the tantalum electrode. thus
charging the battery in the reverse
direction TO the direction of the cur
rent on discharge.
When the current reverses there is
no flow Of current and this action
produces a wave form similar to that
shown in Figure ..

To produce full rectitication a tap

talum electrodes and one lead cleo

why this connection scheme gives full
wave rectification. Remember that
