Conclusions:

Learned the about full-wave rectifier working principles and Basic components. Had the chance to build a simple M2 single phase rectifier in the simulation workspace and measure different parameters. Also calculated the same parameters and compared the result . Interesting excercise, which gave a good overview of the inner workings of a full-wave rectifier.
