twice of input voltage
If you are referring to the voltage after the rectifiers in a powersupply, it is due to the voltage drop across the rectifiers.
What are the Importance of of peak inverse voltage in rectifier
You mean peak inverse voltage.It is the maximum voltage (peak) the diode can be reversed biased (inverse) by without being destroyed.
2x the peak supply voltage!
Peak inverse voltage of a device like diode gives the maximum value of voltage that it can withstand without being damaged when it is reverse biased.
Peak Inverse Voltage, the maximum reverse bias (inverse) voltage that can be applied to the diode without damaging or destroying it. The work "peak" is used to remind you that when using the diode to rectify AC (or arbitrary waveforms) you must use the peak voltage, not the RMS voltage.
1. Efficiency of full wave rectifier is better than other rectifiers i.e, Efficiency()=81.2%. 2.It's Peak Inverse voltage (P I V)=2Vm.
The Peak inverse voltage (PIV) equals the peak value of the input voltage, and the diode must be capable of withstanding this amount of repetition reverse voltage. For the diode in figure, the maximum value of reverse voltage, designated as PIV, occurs at peak of each positive alternation of the input voltage when the diode is forward biased.Peak Inverse Voltage at Positive Half CycleThe Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) occurs at the peak of each half-cycle of the input voltage when the diode is forward biased . In this circuit, the PIV occurs at the peak of each positive half cycle.
A: It realy does not matter half or full wave. the PIV will be 1.41 the RMS input example 100v ac will have a requirement of PIV of 141 volts on the rectifiers.
Two names for practically the same condition. Peak inverse is name whereby the maximum voltage can be sustained. Breakdown is actually the point where a reverse voltage is reached and reverse breakdown has occurred
In a center-tapped full-wave rectifier, the peak inverse voltage (PIV) for each diode is equal to the peak output voltage. Therefore, when the peak output voltage is 100 V, the PIV for each diode is also 100 V. This is because each diode must withstand the full peak voltage when it is reverse-biased. Thus, each diode in this configuration experiences a PIV of 100 V.
A: heat And PIV(Peak Inverse Voltage) or so called Peak Reverse Voltage is limit the diode characteristics.
