Define given parameters and state their values for bridge rectifier (i) Ripple factor (ii) PIV of diode.
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,
(i) Ripple Factor for bridge rectifier – 0.48
PIV:
Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) is defined as the maximum negative voltage which appears across non-conducting reverse biased diode.
(ii) PIV of diode for bridge rectifier-Vm
