Why is the peak inverse voltage in a full wave rectifier 2VMAX?
ShaunMarshgp7659
Assuming that the rectifier will be followed by a filter capacitor, the p.i.v. should be at least twice the peak of the applied a.c.
(The capacitor will charge to the peak of the applied a.c. On the next half cycle of the input, the peak of that cycle will be of the opposite sign to that of the stored voltage on the capacitor, so the two add - giving twice the peak.)

∙ 8y agoAverage value of current = 0.637 x maximum value, r m s value is always greater than average value.
The r m s value of an AC is related to the peak value, according to the wave form of current.
For sine wave relationship is given by r m s + peak/root 2 =0.707 peak.
Peak = root 2 r m s =1,414 r m s .

What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
What is piv requirement of a diode in the center tapped full wave rectifier?
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
What is the nature of the output voltage of half wave and full wave rectifiers with that of the input voltage?
In a half wave rectifier voltage across load resistance is not consistent, because for positive pulse of input voltage diode work as a forward bias i,e half wave rectifier treat as closed circuit and for negative pulse of a input voltage diode work as a reverse bias so no current flow through circuit. therefore voltage output is not consistent. In full wave rectifier two diodes are used at the both side of secondary coil of transformer. due to that for positive pulse of input voltage one diode diode work as a forward bias another as a reverse bias. for negative pulse of a input voltage second diode work as a forward bias another as a reverse bias,so consistent voltage can be provided by full wave rectifier.the nature of output voltage of half wave rectifier and full wave rectifier is that it flows through with only one polarity either in positive or negative in the circuit.
Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?
a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
What was the major factor for developing the full wave rectifier?
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.
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.
Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier for low voltage applications?
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier. TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high. output is not grounded. diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in market. *the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which is of great advantage.
What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
What is the basic difference between a full wave bridge rectifier and a full wave center tapped rectifier?
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).
Conclusions of full-wave rectifier?
A half wave rectifier is not as effective as a full wave rectifier. With a 1/2 wave, you are throwing away one hump of the sine wave...either positive or negative portion. With a full wave rectifier you get both humps...either positive or negative. The resultant effective voltage is much greater with a full wave rectifier, because there is very little time when the voltage is zero. The half wave is zero for 1/2 of the cycle.
Why you take 2Vm peak inverse voltage for full wave rectifier?
When the AC waveform goes to one peak, the capacitor that follows the diode is charged to that peak value. When the AC waveform goes to the other peak, the same diode is reverse biased between the alternate peak value and the charged value of the capacitor. This differential voltage is two times peak voltage.
What is voltage regulation of a rectifier?
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.
What is PIV value of a half wave rectifier?
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.
What is piv requirement of a diode in the center tapped full wave rectifier?

What is the average voltage of a full-wave rectifier if the peak voltage is 900 volts?
between 900 and 600 depending on load and capacitance
