The rectifier efficiency is given by:
% η = \({P_{out}\over P_{in}}\times 100\)
Pout = Output power
Pin = Input power
Calculation
Given, Pout = 50 W
Pin = 150 W
% η = \({50\over 150}\)
% η = 33.33%
Additional Information
- The maximum rectifier efficiency of a half-wave rectifier is 40.6%
- The maximum rectifier efficiency of a full-wave rectifier is 81.6%
