because we can get two different value at outpit.if we cosider tree point at secondery side of rectifier of 100volt that is A,B and C than we can get 50 vol bitween A and C.and we can get 100 volt bitween A and B.so no need to use two different value rectifier of 50 and 100 valt

Why can't we implement the center tapped full wave rectifier without center tapped transformer?

A center-tapped transformer and two diodes can form a full-wave rectifier that allows both half-cycles of the AC waveform to contribute to the direct current, making it smoother than a half-wave rectifier. This form of circuit saves on rectifier diodes compared to a diode bridge, but has poorer utilization of the transformer windings. Hence we do not use centre tapping for full wave rectification.Ashish sharmaAstt. ProfessorHIET, Shahpur, kangra(H.P.)


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 advantages of using the bridge rectifier over the center tapped rectifier?

you only use half the number of windings in the bridge comparing it to the center tapped , and in the bridge rectifier the peak inverse voltage that a diode must be able to sustain without break down is half of that in the center tapped PIV per diode: center tapped: 2Vm : bridge : 1Vm

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.)

Why a full wave rectifier is preferred over a half wave rectifier?

The a.c. component, or ripple, produced by the 4-diode (full wave) bridge rectifier is the same as that produced by the 2-diode full wave rectifier. The bridge is connected across the secondary winding of a transformer. The 2 diodes of the other type of full wave rectifier are each connected to one end of a winding, but that winding requires a center tap. For any desired value of d.c. after rectification, the a.c. voltage of the 2-diode rectifier winding has to be twice that of the winding required for the bridge.

Is 2 diode without center taped can befull wave rectifier?

No. For a full wave rectifier, you need two diodes and a center tapped secondary, or you need four diodes and a non-center tapped secondary.


What are advantages of bridge rectifier?

A bridge rectifier will rectify both halves of a sine wave and give "continuous output" through 360 degrees of the input. Oh, and you don't need a center-tapped transformer to use it.


Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier?

it is more preferable over center tapped rectifiers because you dont have to use special centre tapped transformer that has larger secondary windings thereby reducing the size and cost it also has another advantage by the use of 4 diodes i.e. peak voltage sustained by each diode is half of that sustained by the diodes in center tapped system that uses only 2 diode. thus lifespan of bridge type rectifier is more.
