Question A-004-001-001

For the same transformer secondary voltage, which rectifier has the highest average output voltage?

Correct Answer

Bridge

Explanation

A bridge rectifier utilizes the full secondary voltage for both halves of the AC cycle, resulting in a higher average DC output voltage compared to half-wave or full-wave center-tapped rectifiers using the same total secondary AC RMS voltage.
