Output Voltage
• If you do not know the voltage, but do know the turns ratio of the
transformer, you can calculate the peak output voltage for a full-wave
rectifier from the following equation:

• Outputnya dapat difilter dengan

menambahkan capacitor parallel
terhadap beban R untuk mengurangi
“ripple” secara signifikan.
• Nilai RC nya harus lebih besar dari nilai
periode tegangan outputnya.
