Why do we use bridge rectifier?

• Bridge rectifier uses less energy.
• Size of a bridge rectifier is lesser compared to a centre tapped transformer type rectifier. Also, since a bridge rectifier contains diodes, it can be embedded.
• The ripple factor in case of a bridge rectifier is lower than compared to the centre tapped transformer type.
• It is easier to maintain than the centre tapped transformer.
