Silicon Rectifier Diodes

what is the applied rms voltage?

An AC voltmeter uses a bridge rectifier with silicon diodes and a PMMC instrument with a full scale deflection of 75 micro amp. If the meter coil resistance is 900 ohm and the multiplier resistance is 708k ohm , calculate the applied rms voltage when the volmeter indicated full scale.

The RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage is the voltage that has a heating effect, so the equivalent of DC. In this case the voltage for 708.9K and 75uA is 53.1675V (which is 13,333 ohms per volt incidentally). With a bridge rectifier there would be an additional voltage across the two silicon diodes in series, lets say that is 1.4V. Thus the voltage would be 54.5675V for a steady DC situation or the average value of a sine wave.

The Permanent Magnet Moving Coil meter responds to average current. Assuming a sine wave voltage has been rectified, the average current is not the same as the RMS current, so a correction must be applied. The average is 0.637 of the peak, and the RMS is 0.707 of the peak, so multiply the Average value by 1.1099 to get the RMS value. Note this correction is only valid for a sine-wave. The answer is 60.564V RMS.

The Diodes $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Diodes were a Canadian punk/new wave band formed in 1976. They released five albums: Diodes (1977), Released (1979), ActionReaction (1980), Survivors (1982), and Time/Damage Live 1978 (2010). One of the first Toronto bands playing that style of music, The Diodes helped foster the scene in the city. Along with manager Ralph Alfonso, The Diodes opened the first Canadian punk nightclub in 1977, called Crash n Burn, where many of the citys punk bands at that time played. The first band to play the club was The Nerves, on a double bill with The Diodes. The club was closed at the end of the summer of 1977 due to complaints by the Liberal Party of Ontario (the principal tenants of the building).

Silicon Carbide $93.99 Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum, is a compound of silicon and carbon with a chemical formula SiC. It occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite. Silicon carbide powder has been massproduced since 1893 for use as an abrasive. Grains of silicon carbide can be bonded together by sintering to form very hard ceramics which are widely used in applications requiring high endurance, such as car brakes and ceramic plates in bulletproof vests. Electronic applications of silicon carbide as light emitting diodes and detectors in early radios were first demonstrated around 1907, and nowadays SiC is widely used in hightemperature/highvoltage semiconductor electronics. Large single crystals of silicon carbide can be grown by the Lely method; they can be cut into gems known as synthetic moissanite. Silicon carbide with high surface area can be produced from SiO2 contained in plant material. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

what is the purpose of a silicon diode in bridge rectifier circuit?

10 points for best answer =)

to rectify, to convert AC to DC. A diode conducts current only in one direction.
