A full-wave rectifier uses 2 diodes. The internal resistance of each diode is 20 Ω. The transformer RMS secondary voltage from centre tap to each end of the secondary is 50 V and the load resistance is 980 Ω. Mean load current will be

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Electronics - 1 - Question 25

Concept:

Center tapped full wave rectifier:

  • The Center tapped full-wave rectifier is a device used to convert the AC input voltage into DC voltage at the output terminals.
  • It employs a transformer with the secondary winding tapped at the center point. And it uses only two diodes, which are connected to the opposite ends of a center-tapped transformer as shown in the figure below.
  • The center tap is usually considered as the ground point or the zero voltage reference point.

Analysis:

The DC output voltage or average output voltage can be calculated as follows,

 

V0 = 2Vm / π 

Now we can calculate the average or mean current of load by dividing the average load voltage by load resistance RL. Therefore mean load current is given by

I0 = V0 / RL

If the internal resistance of the diode is given in that case mean load current I0 = V0 / (RL + r)

Where r = internal resistance of the diode.

Calculation:

Given that 

Rms value of supply voltage V = 50 V

The internal resistance of diode r = 20 Ω 

The load resistance RL = 980 Ω 

Maximum voltage on the secondary side Vm = √2 V = √2 × 50 = 70.7 V
Average or DC output voltage V0 = 
Average or mean load current is
