You can use it as a floating PS by connecting the anode side to - supply and the cathode side to +

Does the commutator of a DC machine act as a half-wave rectifier?
No.It act as fullwave rectifier
Can a rectifier work either way?
if you are looking for the direction of rectifier than Yes. the rectifier convert the alternating current to one directional Direct current. It work as short circuit on the case of forward biasing and work as open circuit on the reverse biasing so it can work only in one direction.
Is there any application where a center tap rectifier is preferred over a bridge type rectifier?
yes, where only 2 diodes can be used for fullwave rectification. this was the case with vacuum tube power rectifiers (e.g. 5U4 & type 80). these tubes shared a common cathode between 2 plates, the plates were connected to the ends of the secondary, the cathode supplied the rectified B+ voltage to the filter, the centre tap was grounded.
What is an full wave rctifier?
A fullwave rectifier takes A.C. voltage and makes low ripple D.C. out of it. The next step is a capacitor to smooth the D.C. and reduce the ripple. The rectifier is typically made of four diodes arranged in a diamond shape.The two cathode/anode junctions of the bridge takes in the A.C. and conducts the positive part of the A.C. to the two cathodes junction and the negative part to the two anodes junction configured diodes.
Why silicon controlled rectifier doesn't work in reverse biased condition?
Because when reverse biased it behaves like any other rectifier/diode.
Why rectifier is not used in dynamo?
rectifier is not used because of damaged of problemAnswer.Because there's no need for that since the lamp on your bicycle can still work on the induced AC power.
What happen if all the diode in bridge rectifier is reversed?
it will work as a rectifier . because the AC current to be rectified will not be effected by this change. the out put DC polarity will be changed.
Formula for peak inverse voltage?
piv:the maximum value of reverse voltage across a diode that occurs at the peak of the input cycle when the diode is reversed-biased.
Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Guyz how much voltdrop do you expect to get when measuring across 1 of the fwd biased Si diodes when the circuit is a fullwave bridge rectifier if supplied with 12Vac load being 3673 ohms?
A; engineers assume .6 to .8 volts depending on current flow however Boltzmann constant can be applied if the current is fixed otherwise back to assuming.
Why transfer characteristics cannot be obtained for a bridge rectifier?
Its because one of the diode gets shorted.The diode in the left lower arm in a bridge rectifier gets shorted by the ground points of both the cro and the function generator.
Why in 4 diode full wave rectification you use bridge?
bridge is use in 4 diode fullwave rectification to allow complete cycle so that there will an output DC for both the positive and ndgative half-cycle of the input AC.
