Define PIV, TUF, ripple factor, efficiency of rectifier.
PIV: Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) is defined as the maximum negative voltage which appears across non-conducting reverse biased diode.
TUF : Transformer Utilization Factor (TUF) is defined as the ratio of DC output power to the AC power ratings of the transformer. Mathematically it is expressed as,
Ripple Factor: Ripple Factor is defined as the ratio of RMS value of the AC component of output to the DC or average value of the output. Mathematically it is expressed as,
Efficiency of rectifier:
η = DC output power/ AC input power = PLdc / Pac
