Problem No. 5. Full-Wave Rectifier (FWR)
For the circuit shown:
A-
Calculations – no simulation yet.

What is the primary peak voltage?
2just a note here : This is a 25:1 C.T transformer. However, the way it is labeled in this software is
such that the secondary voltage to C.T is refelcted in this transformer’s ratio. Typically, when the turn
ratio of a C.T transformer is given, the peak voltage at the secondary to C.T would be half the total leg to
leg voltge.
But here, it is leg to C.T. (100 Votls at primary, and thus the secondary to C.T would be 100V/25 = 4
Volts for this transformer.)
