Topic: Analog Circuits
In a full-wave rectifier circuit with centre tap transformer, if voltage between one end of secondary winding and centre tap is 300 V peak, then PIV (peak inverse voltage) is
- A. 300 V
- B. 150 V
- C. 600 V
- D. 900 V
Answer: C. 600 V
Explanation: $PIV=2V_{m}$ (for centre-tap full wave rectifier) $=2\times300=600~V$.
