Average and RMS Value of single-phase half-wave rectifier
Let
Vm = maximum value of transformer secondary voltage
Vs =rms value of secondary voltage
VLM =maximum value of load voltage = Vsm – diode drop – secondary resistance drop
VL = rms value of load voltage
IL = rms value of load current
VL(dc) =average value of load voltage
IL(dc) = average value of load current
ILM = maximum value of load current
RL = load resistance
RS = transformer secondary resistance
rd = diode forward resistance
now,
R0 = RS + rd
ILM = Vsm – VB /(RS + rd) + RL
= Vsm –VB
VLM = ILM . RL
VL(dc) = VLM/π = 0.318VLM
IL(dc) = ILM/π = 0.318ILM
IL = ILMn/2 = 0.5ILM = 0.5VLM/RL

Is there any text book that teaches calculating the RMS and Average values for different rectifier circuit. I am actually having a hard time solving any new problem in diode rectifer. I know that the integration will help, but I am having a hard time finding the limits for my integral.
