if you exceed the max forward current the depletion region will become too small and will no longer allow any voltage through. it will also cause the diode to begin breaking down and will result in the death of the component.

What is a full load current in single phase transformer?

It is the rated maximum current that can be taken from the transformer. This is equal to the VA rating divided by the output voltage. So a 6 kVA 240 v transformer would have a maximum current rating of 6000/240 or 25 amps.

What is maximum power rating?

Maximum power rating describes the maximum power at which a device can operate without reaching an excessive temperature. For example, in the case of a resistor, if its maximum power rating is exceeded, then it may burn out.


What is the maximum current rating of a standard plug?

In the US (and Canada and others??) the maximum current rating of a standard plug with parallel blades is 15 amperes. If it has the neutral (wide) blade rotated 90 degrees, the rating is 20 amperes. If it is has hot (narrow) blade rotated instead, the rating is 30 amperes. In Europe, using 230VAC configuration, there are several connectors. The main European connector uses two round pins for live and neutral and generally are rated at 16 amps although variations between countries also result in current ratings as low as 10 amps. In the UK, using three square pins, the maximum current is 13 amps. Unusually, UK plugs are fitted with a fuse which can be any of 3, 5, 10 or 13 amp rated.


How many amps is 80VA?

Divide VA rating with the Voltage and get Amp rating. So say you have a transformer that delivers 26V, 80VA, that means a maximum current of 80/26=3.07A for a resistive load.

What is Meaning of diode rating?

There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing. Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.
