Rectifier Voltage Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Rectifier Voltage (V_r) is:

\[ V_r = \frac{2 \cdot V_m}{\pi} \]

Where:

\( V_r \) is the Rectifier Voltage (volts).
\( V_m \) is the maximum or peak voltage (volts).

What is Rectifier Voltage?

Rectifier Voltage refers to the average output voltage of a rectifier circuit, which converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This voltage is crucial in power supply applications where a stable DC voltage is required.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Peak Voltage (V_m): 10 volts

Using the formula to calculate the Rectifier Voltage:

\[ V_r = \frac{2 \cdot 10}{\pi} \approx 6.37 \text{ volts} \]

This means that the rectifier voltage for this example is approximately 6.37 volts.
