What is the maximum DC voltage you could expect to obtain from a transformer with an 18V rms secondary using a bridge rectifier circuit with a filter capacitor?
The maximum DC voltage you could expect to obtain from a transformer with an 18V rms secondary using a bridge rectifier circuit with a filter capacitor is about 24V.
This assumes a truly sinusoidal AC waveform, and a forward conductioin voltage of 0.7 volts across each diode.
Multiply 18 by the square root of two, and subtract two times the diode voltage.
The maximum is the peak value. If there is any load on the output, there will be some ripple, but the peak value will still be around 24V.
To calculate the output voltage of single phase diode bridge it is reasonable to assume a filter capacitor exists across the output and realize that it will be charged to the maximum voltage available to it.

How do you determine the size of acapacitor in a rectifier circuit?
ANSWER In rectifiers for power supplies, the capacitor size is determined by the allowable ripple on the output. This can be determined by the rate at which the capacitor is drained. Specifically, this rate is the current drawn from the capacitor. Assume a half wave rectifier made from four diodes. For part of the cycle, the output current is supplied by the rectifier diode. This is also when the capacitor is charged. While the rectifier is not supplying current -- when the input waveform has dropped below the output voltage -- the capacitor must supply the current. Then, as the input waveform rises above the capacitor voltage, the rectifier supplies the current to charge the capacitor and the output circuit.
When the transformer is connected to the power source the secondary current is 0 what is the possible fault in the transformer?
A secondary current of 0 would suggest to me that the secondary circuit is open. A normally operating circuit with zero current flow would be very unusual. No load in secondary circuit. No secondary current can also be attributed to the primary power source open or an open primary winding.
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.)

Block diagram of smps?
A block diagram of SMPS has a main filter, primary rectifier, and power switch. It also has an output transformer, secondary rectifier, smoothing circuit, and controller.
What converts an alternating current to diredt current?
Alternating Current can be converted to Direct Current by using a DC Converter which contain a Bridge Circuit , a Capacitor and if needed a Transformer.CommentA 'DC converter' is normally called a rectifier.
Why excitation transformer vector group is only DY5?
This is basically to reduce the harmonics injected back in the grid which are generated because of the controller rectifier circuit (Thyristor Bridge - B6C) after the transformer secondary.
Why capacitor used in rectifier circuit?
To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.
Why you are using the bridge rectifier in most of the circuits instead of full wave rectifier eventhough the output of both are same?
If diode in the bridge circuit becomes open the circuit will become a half wave rectifier instead, but if a diode in a full wave rectifier opens then the whole circuit becomes open. (No current flow). ************************************************************** The outputs of the bridge and the two-diode full wave rectifier are not the same. For the rectified voltage to be the same value, the two-diode full wave rectifier must be supplied from a centre tapped transformer winding, the total voltage of which is twice that necessary for the bridge rectifier circuit. Furthermore, the maximum d.c. which may be drawn from the centre tapped transformer/two-diode arrangement, assuming capacitive filtering, is the same value as the transformer secondary winding's capacity. In the case of the bridge, the maximum d.c. which may be drawn, also assuming capacitive filtering, is 62% of the transformer secondary winding's capacity.
