How to Calculate Diode Value on Bridge Rectifire?

10/07/2010 1:09 AM

I have 24 V AC Supply. Iwant 24 V DC supply through Bridge Rectifire. Plz tell me the value of diodes which will used in Bridge Rectifire.

My psychic engineers hat is away for calibration.
You have the rest of the information needed, you'll have to have a look on Google

dear,

You have 24V AC supply.

PRV across diode = 24 V

Amp rating = X Amp.

Diodes rating for full wave bridge shall be

48V PRV, 2X Amp.

Out put with capacitor on load side = 33.8 V DC on no load.

Voltage will reduce on load , may get up to 24 - 27 V DC.

The forum needs to know the load on the equipment before suitable components can be advised in response to this posting.

Either 4 single rectifier diodes or a single bridge rectifier. Obviously you will need at the very least a capacitor and some sort of voltage regulator to get a smooth and steady 24VDC out.

Please supply more information (including load rating size) as well as application if you want a more detailed answer.
