Midterm Exam Questions: 1. A highly inductive load is to be supplied from a single phase full-wave diode rectifier. The load requires 12 A at 150V. The ac supply is from the 240V mains. Produce the design details of the centre-tap and bridge rectifier circuits and compare the two designs (calculate the PRV of diodes, the transformer kVA, the transformer ratio, the transformer primary current, the mean and rms values of diode currents and the diode losses for both configuration). Assume that the diode drop is fixed at 0.7 V.
