The center tapped full wave rectifier depends on two similar windings, each 180 degrees out of phase with respect to each other. You are only going to get that with a center tapped winding. Without the center tap, you need four diodes.
A: The same as a half wave rectifier RMS x1.41
There is an article in Wikipedia which gives full details on how rectifiers work - including circuit diagrams. See related link.
well when you see on basis of output voltage the centre tapped transformers is .
A center-tapped transformer and two diodes can form a full-wave rectifier that allows both half-cycles of the AC waveform to contribute to the direct current, making it smoother than a half-wave rectifier. This form of circuit saves on rectifier diodes compared to a diode bridge, but has poorer utilization of the transformer windings. Hence we do not use centre tapping for full wave rectification.Ashish sharmaAstt. ProfessorHIET, Shahpur, kangra(H.P.)
If one have a centre tap transformer you only need two diodes to get full wave rectification, the anode of the both diodes to the two outside taps the cathodes together will form your Negetive and the centre tap is your Possitive
Since the output of the rectifier is a close approximation of a sawtooth waveform, then all harmonics starting at the second harmonic are present in the full wave bridge rectifier output.
peak inverse voltage of a center tapped full wave rectifier is 2Vwhere the maximum secondary voltage be VProof :- recall the diagram of the centre-tapped full wave rectifier ,during positive cycle the whole of the secondary voltage rests on the upper half of the transformer making D1 forward biased, but consider KVL in mesh D2 which is reverse biased so no current flows through it .KVL is ,VD=VR+VTwhere VR is drop across resistorand VT be the drop on the lower half of the transformersincs both are equal to Vwe get.VD=2V
A full-wave bridge rectifier with 4 diodes gives a dc output voltage equal to the average voltage of the whole transformer secondary. A FW rectifier with 2 diodes and a centre-tapped secondary gives an output voltage equal to the average voltage of half the secondary. If you have a 12-0-12 transformer, the bridge gives a 24 v output, while the 2-diode FW rectifier gives 12 v (approximately).
By using a center tap, with the tap connected to ground you can use one winding for the positive AC swing and the other winding (both relative to the center-tap) for the negative swing. Thus, when the secondary windings can be connected to the AC inputs of a full-wave-bridge rectifier to harvest a bi-polar DC power source. i.e. - a positive DC voltage 'rail' AND a negative DC voltage rail, say for example you have a 24VAC center tapped secondary of a 110VAC transformer. With a full-wave bridge, the center tap becomes the circuit 'ground' (aka 'return') in a DC circuit.
No. For a full wave rectifier, you need two diodes and a center tapped secondary, or you need four diodes and a non-center tapped secondary.
