Parameter | Half Wave | Full Wave (Center tap Transformer) | Full Wave (Bridge) |
Vdc in the load | Vmax/π | 2 x Vmax/π | 2 x Vmax/π |
Vrms in the load | Vmax/2 | Vmax/√2 | Vmax/√2 |
Reverse voltage across the diodes Vr = (Max.) | Vmax | 2 x Vmax | Vmax |
Ripple Factor (Υ ) | 120% | 48% | 48% |
Pdc = output power in watts (W)
