A bridge rectifier, is a group of rectifiers (4 in a single phase) wired so that each half of an AC current is passed to respective positive and negative lines of a DC output.
It provides full wave rectification of AC into DC.

Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary
gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.

What are the disadvantages of bridge rectifier to center tap rectifier?
In bridge rectifier,two of the diodes are forward biased(i.e
conducting current) at a time while in centre tapped rectifier
1diode is forward biased at a time.So,the flaw in bridge rectifier
is that voltage loss is more in bridge rectifier than in centre
tapped rectifier.
e.g:for silicon diode
loss=-0.7v (for centre tapp)
loss=2*0.7=1.4v (for bridge)
Asked in Electronics Engineering, Physics
Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier for low voltage applications?
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier.
TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high.
output is not grounded.
diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in
market.
*the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier
are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which
is of great advantage.
Asked in Electronics Engineering
What is an explanation of the bridge rectifier?
A bridge rectifier refers to a diode bridge of 4 diodes in a
bridge configuration that provides some polarity of the output for
either the polarity of the input or output.

Why used to bridge rectifier?
The bridge rectifier used to rework alternating present (AC)
into direct current (DC).
bridge rectifier diagram and how it work :-
A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge
arrangement to achieve full-wave rectification. This is a widely
used configuration, both with individual diodes wired as shown and
with single component bridges where the diode bridge is wired
internally.

Asked in Electronics Engineering, Physics
What is the difference between full wave bridge rectifier and bridge rectifier?
Those terms are different names for the same thing. When
properly connected,
a bridge rectifier is always a full-wave rectifier.
ANSWER: The difference is that twice the input voltage will be
available to the output, That does not means twice the power.
Asked in Electronics Engineering
What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?
It will degrade to a half-wave rectifier.
Asked in Electronics Engineering, Electronics
Can a bridge rectifier is possible with the help of two diode?
Yes, if the transformer output is center-tapped; otherwise, no,
a bridge rectifier requires four diodes, or six for three phase
power.
More technically correct, what we are talking about is a
full-wave rectifier. A bridge rectifier is properly always four or
six diodes.
Asked in Electricity and Magnetism
What are the two main types of bridges in electricity?
A 'bridge' rectifier. Forming a full wave rectifier of AC to
DC.
A Wheatstone 'bridge'. Where a fine balance is measured, across
a bridge of resistors.
Asked in Electronics Engineering, Bridges and Tunnels
What are advantages of bridge rectifier?
because its PIV rating is less than half wave rectifier
Asked in Electronics Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering
Why you prefer full wave bridge rectifier rather than full wave rectifier?
You would use a bridge rectifier if the transformer is a simple
winding with two ends. A full-wave rectifier with two diodes is
used when the transformer secondary is centre-tapped.
Asked in Electronics Engineering
How does bridge rectifier control a DC motor?
give answer how to control the speed of dc motor using bridge
rectifier ?
ANSWER: A bridge rectifier by itself does not control anything
it merely convert AC into DC. the controlling is done by other
means SCR TRIACS AND SERVO loop
Asked in Electronics Engineering, Physics
What is the effect of inductive load on a single phase full wave bridge rectifier?
rectifier is used to resist the current likewise in bridge wave
rectifier ,the inductive load is used to resist high amount of
current because in bridge wave we cannot resist the current by
using rectifier ..so we are using inductive load here

What happens when a diod is shorted in a full wave bridge rectifier circuit?
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively
becomes a half-wave rectifier.
Asked in Electronics Engineering, Electronics
Advantages of bridge rectifier over full wave rectifier?
The a.c. component, or ripple, produced by the 4-diode (full
wave) bridge rectifier is the same as that produced by the 2-diode
full wave rectifier.
The bridge is connected across the secondary winding of a
transformer.
The 2 diodes of the other type of full wave rectifier are each
connected to one end of a winding, but that winding requires a
center tap.
For any desired value of d.c. after rectification, the a.c.
voltage of the 2-diode rectifier winding has to be twice that of
the winding required for the bridge.
Asked in Electronics Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering
Why is the bridge rectifier preferred over full wave rectifier in most practical applications?
there are two types of full wave rectifier we use in electronic
circuits
1-center tap rectifier and
2-bridge wave rectifier
as center tap rectifier is bulky due to a tansformer which
shoulld be center taped and also this transformer cost is more than
simle transformer
now in case of bridge wave rectifie ransfer we use is simple and
not so epensive
many says that that bridge wave rectifier is expensive due to 4
diode used in the circuit but the cost of a small diode is not more
than 2 rupee
so hats why we refer bridge wave rectifier than cener tap
rectiferr
