Rectifier Voltage Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Rectifier Voltage.
Vr = 2*Vm / pi
Variables:
- Where Vr is the Rectifier Voltage (volts)
- Vm is the maximum or peak voltage (volts)
How to Calculate Rectifier Voltage?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Rectifier Voltage.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the maximum or peak voltage (volts). In this example, the maximum or peak voltage (volts) is measured to be 37.
- Finally, calculate the Rectifier Voltage using the formula above:
Vr = 2*Vm / pi
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Vr = 2*37/ 3.14159 = 23.55 (volts)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are:
maximum or peak voltage (volts) = 40
Entering these values into the formula or calculator above gives us::
Vr = 2*40 / 3.14159 = 25.464 (volts)
