Q. For a half wave or full wave rectifier the Peak Inverse Voltage of the rectifier is always
Solution:
- The peak input voltage is smaller than the input voltage due to the presence of diode(s).
- A single diode reduces the output voltage by approximately 0.7V.
- the Peak Inverse Voltage of a rectifier depends on the type of rectifier used.
- For a half wave rectifier, the PIV is smaller than the input voltage, while for a full wave rectifier, the PIV is greater than the input voltage.
