Question

Consider diodes in a rectifier circuit. Input voltage is sinusoidal with a peak of +/-10 V. Diode drop is 0.7 V. What is the PIV for each type rectifier 1. 0.7 V 2. 1.4 V 3. 10.7 V 4. 11.4 V Bridge rectifier 5. 19.3 V Full-wave rectifier 6. 8.6 V 7. 9.3 V Half-wave rectifier 8. 7.2 V 9. 12.1 V 10. 12.8 V 11. 10 V

Answer 1

Answer is given below:

Step-by-step explanation:

• Peak inverse voltage (PIV) can be defined as the maximum value of the reverse voltage of the diode, which is the maximum value of the input cycle when the diode is on. In reverse bias. Happens. 9.3V for braid rectifiers cut at 0.7
• The center tapered rectifier has 2 diodes in parallel so the maximum voltage is 2Vm so the answer to cut off the 0.7 voltage is19.3V.
• For a half wave rectifier it is Vm i.e. 10 V.
