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 test a voltage rectifier?

If you actually mean rectifier (rather than regulator), then you can determine if it is performing its base function of converting alternating current to direct current by using a voltmeter. If the rectifier is functioning, you should read a percentage (which depends upon whether it is a half-wave or full-wave rectifier) of the AC peak input value on the DC range of a voltmeter. Using an oscilloscope, you can clearly view the half-wave or full-wave unidirectional (positive or negative only) pulses produced at the output of the rectifier. If the rectifier is blown and is conducting in both directions you will see nothing on a DC voltmeter range (the average value of an AC waveform is zero), and on an oscilloscope you will see the full peak-to-peak AC input waveform at its output.

How to calculate prefrred dividend before devidend declared?

Calculation of preferred dividend does not depend upon the dividend declared at the end of the year. Preferred dividend is fixed and is calculated using the fixed percentage of preferred dividend. For example a company has 1000 shares of 6 preferred stock outstanding, each with par value of $100. 6 mentioned before preferred stock is the dividend rate(6%) to be received by preferred shares. Preferred Dividend = No. of preffered shares outstanding x Par value of each share x Dividend rate. = 1000 x 100 x 6%. = $ 6000. Dividend per share = 6000/1000 = $6


What happen when two of four diode in a bridge rectifier is short circuit?

You will get reduced amperage (or output) from the alternator. A alternator rated at 80 amps would probably only produce 50-60 amps. If a diode in a rectifier is shorted, then the alternator output would be greatly reduced or possibly no output at all.


What is the definition of special relativity?

Special relativity is Albert Einstein's theory that there is no preferred frame of reference for physics, and all measurements depend upon the frame of reference from which they are made.

Yes, institutions accredited by agencies with high educational standards are better looked upon and recognized. Within the United States the regional accreditation is preferred.


How many Jewish stores were closed during the Holocaust?

Depends upon where you mean, but basically all of them, though some were given to preferred people, so technically they stayed open, but 'under new management'.


What is diode rectifier?

By definiton, a diode lets electrical current flow only in one direction. A RECTIFIER DIODE is basically the same thing. It is used mainly for power supply operation and can handle higher current flow than a regular diode. Diodes are rated from milliamps to as high as 100 amps per diode depending upon the diode style and amperage rating. A recitifier diode is the same as a "Power diode". Diodes are mainly used to change AC (alternating current) into DC (directo current) which is used by batteries and etc.


What setting do authors work in?

The setting in which an author works is totally dependent upon the creative process of the author. Some authors, such as J.K. Rowling, have been known to write in cafes and coffee shops while others, such as Ernest Hemingway, preferred to work largely in privacy.


Are honey or orchard bees more preferred in gardens?

Orchard bees may be preferred to honey bees in the garden.Specifically, the insect in question (Osmia lignaria) has the appeal of being native to North America whereas honey bees (Apis spp) are European imports from colonial times. The orchard bee also is focused upon the immediate garden whereas honey bees will fly miles away from the home hive. Orchard bees offer the additional advantage of extreme reluctance to defend themselves and rely upon far less potent stingers than honey bees.
