ROOP Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 what is the basic use of the transformer in a rectifier? please explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 If this is a homework question, you should suggest an answer first. I will be happy to help you improve on your answer or provide some steer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOP Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 yeah sure actually as far my knowledge goes transformer is used for stepping down the voltage so that the diode doesnt breaks means the minimum voltage is 6v which can go through it. suppose we connect it to mains then the potential is very high like 220v so by the help of the transformer we can step down it...........so is this is the only use?

cypress Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 No it is not the only use. Let's say the rectifier is used simply to convert from AC to DC but maintain the same voltage. Do you suppose the transformer would still be included? If so, try to figure out why it might still be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
