2x the peak supply voltage!
It should be the rms value of your supply.
A: actually a full wave rectifier does not regulate. It will however follow the input minus diodes voltage drops. depending on current it is assumed to be .6 to .7 volts for silicon diodes.
A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current. A transformer is a device that changes the ratio fo current to voltage. A rectifier is found in a PC power supply.
There is no transformer used in PC power supply. There is rectifier used to rectify or convert AC input voltage into DC output voltage.Transformer based rectifier produces some spikes at the output DC voltage, hencethey uses SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) to avoid spikes to the output DC voltage and get a smooth DC voltage.
A transformer is basically used to step up or step down the main power supply. The rectifier is used to convert an alternating current (AC) or voltage to direct current (DC) or voltage.
when rectifier is on, the capacitor is almost transparent (it charges to the voltage provided from the rectifier) when rectifier is off, capacitor holds the peak voltage since it stored a charge during rectifier on time.
What are the Importance of of peak inverse voltage in rectifier
The rectifier is what changes your AC into DC that the computer can use. Transformer raises or lowers the voltage. So you have 110 volts AC coming into your computers power supply. The Rectifier circuit in there changes the AC voltage to DC voltage but it is still to high for the computer use. The transformer lowers that voltage down to the various voltages that your computer needs
A 3-phase rectifier bridge can be used with a single phase supply, it just means that four of the diodes are not connected. The peak voltage (if a reservoir capacitor is used) is sqrt(2) times the rms supply voltage and the average voltage using inductor smoothing is 0.9 times the rms voltage.
A rectifier is an electronic device that changes an AC voltage to a DC voltage.
A transformer is a device that changes the level of an a.c. voltage, while a rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current.
