Transformer utilization factor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The transformer utilization factor (TUF) of a rectifier circuit is defined as the ratio of the DC power available at the load resistor to the AC rating of the secondary coil of a transformer.[1][2]

The rating of the transformer can be defined as: TRANSFORMER utilization factor for half wave rectifier is .287 or .3.
