The significant reason(s) for using bridge wave rectifier is (are)

Options:

a. Less PIV rating
b. No necessity of centre - tap winding usage
c. Suitability for high voltage applications
d. All of the above

Correct Answer: d. All of the above

Explanation:

Full-wave bridge rectifier circuit consists of four diodes without the necessity of centre- tapped transformer winding. In addition to this, small transformers are sufficient to utilize for controlling the same output level despite of using large transformers as in case of full-wave rectifier circuits with two diodes. Less PIV rating per diode is another important characteristic feature that serves to be quite beneficiary.

However, it becomes more flexible and easier to perform the rectification level by preferring full wave bridge rectifiers especially for high voltage applications.
