The Set-up consists of a step-down transformer, a rectifier circuit (can be used as a half-wave or a full-wave rectifier), a filter circuit (an inductance and two capacitors) - the arrangement can be used for the study of various configuration of filters and a regulator circuit.
The following studies can be carried out with this set-up
-
Study of rectification :
(a) Full wave rectification
(b) Half wave rectification
-
Study of ac component : (Ripples)
(a) Efficiency of various type of filters L, p, T type etc. (Ripples)
(b) The effect of load
(c) The effect of regulation

The above experimental set-up has been laid down on a decorated bakelite board with an aim of providing an easy understanding to the students. All components are well spread out for clarity and easy repairs and replacement. The set-up is provided with a booklet, which contains its detailed theory of operation, description, specifications, suggestions and discussion on the various experiments that may be performed with it.
The experimental set-up is complete in all respect, except a Multimeter and a CRO
