Full Wave Rectifier Circuit The circuit of the full-wave rectifier can be constructed in two ways. The first method uses a centre tapped transformer and two diodes. This arrangement is known as a centre tapped full-wave rectifier. The second method uses a standard transformer with four diodes arranged as a bridge. This is known as a bridge rectifier. Advantages of Full Wave Rectifier The rectification efficiency of full wave rectifiers is double that of half wave rectifiers. The efficiency of half wave rectifiers is 40.6% while the rectification efficiency of full wave rectifiers is 81.2%. The ripple factor in full wave rectifiers is low hence a simple filter is required. The value of ripple factor in full wave rectifier is 0.482 while in half wave rectifier it is about 1.21. The output voltage and the output power obtained in full wave rectifiers are higher than that obtained using half wave rectifiers. Question: What is the main disadvantage of a conventional full-wave…
