Problems with the graphs of a Full Wave Rectifier circuit

I am trying to simulate a full-wave rectifier with an input voltage of 220*2ˆ(1/2)V = 311.13V, but nevertheless, the graph of the input voltage is not showing a sine wave, nor the input current is a sine wave. The output voltage is weird too. I have got no idea what seems to be the problem.

Hi MIrella,

your circuit does not look like the standard full wave rectifier which has the diamond of diodes connected at every corner.

I realized I connected something wrong, but, it is still showing a strange graph. I added a transformer((N1/N2))=1 and fixed the wrong part.

Hi Mirella,

It helps to have a load that can carry DC current. Hard to get current through a capacitor (unless it is extremely large, and then your load will be highly capacitive rather than primarily resistive, and still no DC current).

A good place to start is the Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier example in Simscape.
