You use a half-wave rectifier where the system design does not require a full-wave approach. Half wave rectifier output is used for running ac motors.
Half wave rectifier makes the the sinusoidal wave uni-direction only in one half cycle and leave the other but in full wave rectifier both the cycles are made uni-directional.
The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.
The various types of rectifiers are :1: half wave rectifier2: full wave rectifier3:bridge rectifiersthe rms voltage of half wave rectifier is v/sqrt(2)t
