Advantages:

There are some advantages of choke input AC filter which are given below.

  • The choke input AC filter has no loading effect on the rectifier and power transformer.
  • It has better voltage regulation than that of π filter.
  • The diode does not have to carry surge currents.
  • It has a very low ripple factor as compared to series inductor filter and shunt capacitor filter.
  • It has very good load regulation.
  • It has no loading effect on the rectifier and power transformer.
  • The choke input (LC) filter has a high output D.C voltage.

Disadvantages:

There are some disadvantages of choke input AC filter which are given below.

  • The choke input filter produces the audible noise due to inductor.
  • It is not useful for very low load currents.
  • It cannot be used together with half wave rectifier.
  • The use of bleeder resistor increases the rating of rectifier circuit.
  • There is a loss of power in the series inductor due to its DC resistance.
  • It has low output D.C. voltage than that of π type filter.
  • It has high ripple factor than that of π type filter.
  • It becomes costly due to the use of large value of an inductor L and a capacitor C.
