Did you mean inverter or rectifier? The description normally applies to the latter, and it is a device that turns both polarities of the applied alternating current to d.c. at one polarity. It's essentially two parallel half-wave rectifiers in opposition.

What is the difference between a half bridge and a full bridge inverter?
A half bridge inverter is an electronic circuit that uses different phases to do what it needs to do. A full bridge inverter is a single phase device so a half bridge is more complicated than a full bridge.
If a single phase 240 Volt ac is applied to a full wave bridge rectifier. what will be the resultant dc voltage?
A: the rms value will be169 volts add a capacitor and no load 240 volts and the average will be 153 volts
How do you calculate full load in single phase circuit?
The question has to be more specific. Full load amps, watts or voltage. Please restate your question.
What is meant by Single phase half controlled bridge rectifier?
This is actually called a single phase half converter and it is used to have an adjustable DC output voltage. It is like a bridge rectifier but two of the diodes are replaced with a solid state switch, SCR for example, and there is also a freewheeling diode in parallel with the load. A half converted can have an output voltage that is adjustable from 0.9*E to 0 volts. It does this be adjusting the firing angle of the switches. There is also a full converted and the difference is that it has an output voltage from + 0.9*E to - 0.9*E volts.
What are the advantages of 3 phase generators as compared to single phase generators?
For those who need a three-phase supply, they are essential. If a single-phase supply is needed, a three-phase generator is uneconomic. Three-phase is used for loads of more than about 15-20 kVA.

How many diodes in full wave rectifier?
Depends on the number of phases.single phase uses 4 diodesthree phase uses 6 diodes
How many number of thyristors are used in the single phase full wave bridge?
A full wave bridge uses 4 diodes to operate. A half wave bridge used 2 diodes to operate. Thyristors used in a full wave bridge are triggered diodes. To make these types of bridges operate a trigger board is required to be connected to the gate input of the thyristor. Thyristors are also known as silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR).
Why three-phase rectifier is preferred upon single-phase rectifier?
The choice of single or three phase depends on the available supply. But a three-phase full wave rectifier provides 6 pulses of DC per cycle, while a single-phase full-wave rectifier provides only two. That makes the output DC easier to smooth.
How do you run a 480 volt welder on a 230 volt hookup?
Yes. With SOME, you may need a motor-generator set, or an inverter, to convert the single-phase power to three-phase power.... Some more modern 3-phase welders will operate directly on single-phase, because they're inverter-type units already. Many 'classic' transformer-based industrial welders can be made to operate easily off single phase power, at full output using the "Haas-Kamp Conversion". Do a web-search for Haas-Kamp and your welder's brand and model- if it's a popular welder, someone has probably already done it.

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 will be the full load current of single phase 5Kva ups?
Assuming single phase voltage 220 Volts AC, the maximum current would be approximately 25 amps.
Can you operate single phase motor from drive?
yes it is possible if you provide full details
What is the main difference between a bridge rectifier and a full wave rectifier?
Both the bridge rectifier and the full-wave rectifier achieve the same thing. They rectify the AC input on both opposing phases so as to minimize ripple time and voltage. The difference is that a bridge rectifier consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge, so the input needs to only be single phase AC, while a full wave rectifier consists of two diodes, but needs a split phase AC source, such as provided by a center tapped transformer winding. Also, the bridge rectifier presents two junction drops in the output, because there are always two diodes in series, while the full-wave rectifier presents only one junction drop in the output, because there is only one. It is a trade-off.
A man is standing on a bridge and he sees a boat full of people go under the bridge He goes to the other side of the bridge but when the boat comes out he can't see a single person Why?
They are all couples
