A little more than 6 volts RMS, or 17 volts peak to peak (can get -6 and +6 voltage this way using a full wave rectifier).

The voltage will depend strongly on your design - are you using circuitry that clamps the output voltage to a specific value (you should!). If you are doing this, I would find the cheapest transformer that meets the current capacity you need that has an output near the 6 volts you want.

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.


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 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.

Is a transformer used in full wave rectifier?

A full wave rectifier is a component or set of components that change AC waveforms into DC. It is frequently used as part of a power supply circuit and therefore it is often directly adjacent to a transformer. However, a transformer is used to provide a suitable AC voltage and is not part of the rectifier.


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.


What are the approximation of open circuit and short circuit test of transformer?

A short-circuit test is done to determine the power lost in the resistance of the primary and secondary windings of the transformer. It is done at full load current but with only enough voltage to give the required current with the secondary short circuited. An open-circuit test is done at full load voltage but no current is taken from the secondary, and this enables the power lost in the magnetic core of the transformer to be measured. As well a power, the tests also allow the inductances to be measured as well as the resistances, in order ot characterise the transformer fully.


What are the voaltg in isolation transformer?

The function of an isolation transformer is to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage levels. So, its secondary voltage will be the same as the primary voltage.


Why should the secondary of a voltage transformer not be short circuited?

A voltage transformer takes a primary voltage and steps it down to a smaller secondary voltage. This type of transformer will attempt to keep the secondary voltage at a specific ratio of the primary voltage. If you short it, massive current flow in the secondary is required to do this. For a similar reason a CT should never be open circuited - because it attempts to push a specific ratio of primary current through the secondary. If you open circuit the secondary, it takes a massive voltage on the secondary to accomplish this.
