Bridge rectifier circuit with a step-up transformer

I have been experimenting with a full-wave bridge rectifier in LTspice. I am trying to step up 120 V AC/60 Hz to 1 kV DC for a load of around 2 kΩ. The step-up transformer has a ratio of 25:9. The ...

How do you find the peak-to-peak ripple voltage of a full wave bridge rectifier?

The 32VRMS secondary of a transformer feeds a full wave rectifier and capacitor filter as shown in the circuit. The peak-to-peak ripple of the output voltage of this circuit needs to be less than 1V ...

Derivation of ripple factor equation for a full-wave rectifier with filter

I'm trying to derive the ripple factor for a full wave rectifier with a filter. This parameter is defined as the ratio of the root mean square (rms) value of the ripple voltage (Vr_rms) to the ...

Full Wave Rectifier Ripple Problem

I have made a full wave rectifier circuit to obtain 5VDC, 9VDC and -9VDC. To prevent the ripple, i have selected C1 and C2 as 4uF which were shown below. I will use a 12V, 6W transformer to get AC ...
