V Saravanan

The ripple factor is a measure of the quality of the output produced by a rectifier. It refers to the smoothness of the voltage and current waveforms, with a perfect DC waveform having a constant value and identical mean and RMS values. Any non-ideal DC waveform can be described as possessing ripple components that are alternating in nature.
