What Are The Advantages Of Single Phase Bridge Converter Over Single

1.	What Are The Advantages Of Single Phase Bridge Converter Over Single Phase Mid-point Converter?
Answer» SCRS are subjected to a peak-inverse VOLTAGE of 2Vm in a FULLY controlled bridge rectifier. Hence for same voltage and current ratings of SCrs, power handled by mid-point configuration is about In mid-point converter, each secondary WINDING should be able to supply the load power. As such, the TRANSFORMER rating in mid-point converter is double the load rating.
