SAMPLE PROBLEM FOR CENTER TAPPED FULL WAVE RECTIFIER

Design a center tapped power supply with the following specs:

• Vo = 8 volts
• Io = 500mA
• Vin = 220V input, ± 5%
Solution:

Vlow = 220V x 15% = 33V

= 220V – 33

= 187V

Vrms = (8V + 1.5/2 +1) /1.3 x 220V / 187V

= 7.5 x 1.176

= 8.82V

≈ 9 Volts

Irsm = 1.2 x 500mA

= 600mA

(see table 1. get the nearest higher current: 9-0-9, 1A or 9-0-9 750mA, 220V transformer)
PIV > 2.82rms x Vrms

> 2.82 x 9V

>25.38V

IF > Io x 2

> 600mA x 2

>1.2mA

(choose a diode with 25.38V, 1.2mA specs)

Capacitor Rating

Working Voltage

WV > 1.41 x Vrms

WV > 1.41 x 9V

WV > 12.69V

(see capacitor table of values in the internet: use a capacitor with greater WV, say 16V)

Capacitance = Io / 1.5 x 8.3-3 Farad

=(500-3/1.5) x 8.3-3 Farad

=0.00276

=2760 micro farad

(see capacitor table of values in the internet: use a capacitor with equal or greater than 2760 microfarad).

Use capacitor: 3300µF / 16V
