Question
A single-phase full-bridge diode rectifier feeds a resistive load of from a , single phase AC supply. If the diodes are ideal, then the active power, in watts, drawn by the load is _____________.
Correct answer
795 to 805
Solution
For a single-phase full-bridge diode rectifier with a purely resistive load :
1.The output voltage is a full-wave rectified version of the input AC voltage.
2.The RMS value of a full-wave rectified sine wave is identical to the RMS value of the original sine wave.
3.The active power consumed by the resistive load is calculated as:
Rounding to the nearest integer, the active power is .Continue learning with Success Tracker
