Question

Difference between centre tap transformer and full wave rectifier

Answer 1

Hey mate

Here is ur ans

The rectifier is a device that converts an alternating current (AC) to pulsating direct current (DC). PIV (peak inverse voltage) ratings of the diodes in bridge rectifier is half than that of needed in a center tapped full wave rectifiers. The diode used in bridge rectifier has capable of bearing high peak inverse voltage. Whereas in center tapped rectifiers, the peak inverse voltage coming across each diode is double the maximum voltage across the half of the secondary winding.




Hope it helps u✌❤

Answer 2

Explanation:

Whereas in center tapped rectifiers, the peak inverse voltage coming across each diode is double the maximum voltage across the half of the secondary winding. The transformer utilization factor (TUF) also more in bridge rectifier as compared to the center tapped full wave rectifier, Which makes it more advantageous.
