Bridge rectifiers are used in alternators and other electronic equipment that needs full DC current and can be bought at local electronic stores as well as the internet. Radio shack sells them also. A bridge rectifier is a 2 or 4 rectifiers that rectify AC current into DC. A full wave bridge usually consists of 4 diodes that rectify both the negative and positive swings of the AC current into DC. With the proper center wound transformer, only 2 diodes are needed.

How much does a bridge rectifier cost to make?
Total cost to make a bridge rectifier is about Σ25. A bridge rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating currents (AC) to direct current (DC). The process of bridge rectification is a simple one using four diodes, two AC and two DC wires, an AC source and pliers.
How do you derive PIV of Bridge rectifier?
A: The input peak value is the guide for PIV
Why transfer characteristics cannot be obtained for a bridge rectifier?
Its because one of the diode gets shorted.The diode in the left lower arm in a bridge rectifier gets shorted by the ground points of both the cro and the function generator.
What happen if all the diode in bridge rectifier is reversed?
it will work as a rectifier . because the AC current to be rectified will not be effected by this change. the out put DC polarity will be changed.
What is the peak inverse voltage rating of diode in bridge rectifier?
2x the peak supply voltage!
How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?
Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.
Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
How do you make project of bridge rectifier on breadboard?
how to make a bridge rectifier on breadboard
What are merits and demerits of bridge rectifier?
Merits a diode bridge rectifier is simple to build
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.
Which type of rectifier has the greatest output voltage for the same input voltage and trasformer turns ratio?
Bridge Rectifier
Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier for low voltage applications?
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier. TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high. output is not grounded. diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in market. *the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which is of great advantage.
How does bridge rectifier control a DC motor?
give answer how to control the speed of dc motor using bridge rectifier ? ANSWER: A bridge rectifier by itself does not control anything it merely convert AC into DC. the controlling is done by other means SCR TRIACS AND SERVO loop
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
What is the effect of inductive load on a single phase full wave bridge rectifier?
rectifier is used to resist the current likewise in bridge wave rectifier ,the inductive load is used to resist high amount of current because in bridge wave we cannot resist the current by using rectifier ..so we are using inductive load here
What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
Does the bridge rectifier follow the value of the input current?
No.
