Question

The half-wave rectifier as shown is operating at a frequency of 60Hz, and the rms value of the transformer output voltage vI is 12.6V±10%. What are the nominal and worst case values of the dc output voltage VO if the diode voltage drop is 1V?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data,

  • The value of rms voltage is Vrms = 12.6±10% V.
  • The value of operating frequency is f = 60 Hz.
  • Thee value of voltage in on-state is VON = 1 V.

The expression for nominal dc output voltage is given as,

Vrms=-Vdcnom+VON2Vdcnom=-2Vrms-VON=-2×12.6-1=-16.8 V

 

Step 2

The expression for maximum rms value of transformer output voltage is,

Vrmsmax=1+10100Vrms=1.1×12.7=13.97 V

Hence the expression for maximum value of dc output voltage is,

Vdcmax=-2Vrmsmax-VON=-2×13.97-1=-18.74 V
