hi all
how do i calculate the power or power loss of a full wave Bridge rectifier?
it does have a series inductor and a parallel capacitor after the rectifier.....

Thanks

I think the crude way is to multiply diode drop (two diode in this case) with current flowing. (say 1.4V X 2A = 2.8W)
 

you can attach a galvanometer and a voltmeter to input and a galvanometer and a voltmeter to output. measure AC voltage and multiply it by square Root of 2 and multiply it to current. measure DC output voltage and current. the difference Vin xIin - Vout xIout has wasted in rectifier.
 

This is a onsemis rectifier app handbook.You should find it useful.

Hi All,

Thanks for this hand book...It' quite useful....!! I wonder how youpeople manage to get hand on stuff like this...!!

Thanks again....
