BRIDGE RECTIFIERS
It contains four diodes D1, D2, D3 and D4 connected to form bridge . The AC supply to be rectified is applied to the diagonally opposite ends of the bridge through the transformer. Between other two ends of the bridge, the load resistance RL is connected.
Advantages of Bridge Rectifiers
• The need for center tapped transformer is eliminated.
• The output is twice that of the center-tap circuit for the same secondary voltage.
• The PIV is one half that of the center tap circuit.
Disadvantages of Bridge Rectifiers
• The only Disadvantage of using Bridge rectifiers is that it requires four Diodes .
