Share:
- 1The overall transformer utilisation factor (TUF) is better for a bridge rectifier than for a centre-tapped rectifier.✓
- 2A bridge rectifier requires diodes with double the peak inverse voltage (PIV) rating compared to a centre-tapped rectifier.
- 3The transformer utilisation factor (TUF) of the primary winding is identical for both circuits.
- 4The Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) rating of the diodes required is the same for both rectifiers.
Correct answer
The overall transformer utilisation factor (TUF) is better for a bridge rectifier than for a centre-tapped rectifier.
