A Single Phase Full Wave Mid-Point Converter, also known as a Single Phase Half-Wave Rectifier with a center-tapped transformer, is a common circuit for converting AC to DC. Here's a basic description of the circuit and its waveforms:
### **Circuit Description**
1. **Transformer**: The transformer has a center-tap, which provides two equal secondary voltages with respect to the center tap.
2. **Diodes**: Two diodes are connected in a bridge configuration. Each diode conducts for one half-cycle of the AC input voltage.
3. **Inductive Load**: The load is inductive, meaning it has inductance \( L \) which affects the output waveform.

### **Input and Output Waveforms**
#### **Input AC Voltage Waveform**
The input AC voltage waveform is a sinusoidal waveform:
```
V_in (AC)

```
#### **Output DC Voltage Waveform**
For an inductive load, the output voltage waveform is smoother and resembles a full-wave rectified waveform with some ripple. Assuming a well-filtered output, it will look like:
```
V_out (DC)

|--------| |-------| |--------> Time

```
### **Explanation of Waveforms**
1. **Input Waveform**: The input is a sinusoidal AC voltage.
2. **Output Waveform**: The output voltage is a pulsating DC voltage. The inductive load smooths the waveform, reducing ripple, but it’s not perfectly flat. The output voltage is always positive because of the full-wave rectification, and the inductance maintains a smoother current flow through the load.
