For rectifier applications, peak inverse voltage (PIV) or peak reverse voltage (PRV) is the maximum value of reverse voltage which occurs at the peak of the input cycle when the diode is reverse-biased. [4] [5] The portion of the sinusoidal waveform which repeats or duplicates itself is known as the cycle. The part of the cycle above the ...

The top plot shows the individual three phase signals, the middle plot shows the half-wave rectifier output in solid curve and the bottom plot shows the full-wave rectifier output in solid curve. The 'T' in time is the time period of individual signals and V p e a k {\displaystyle \scriptstyle V_{\mathrm {peak} }} is the amplitude of each of ...
Between the circuit's input and output is a diode that performs half-wave rectification, allowing substantial current flow only when the input voltage is around a diode drop higher than the output terminal. The output is connected to a capacitor of value and resistor of value in parallel to ground. The capacitor is charged as the input voltage ...
A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Mathematically, this corresponds to the absolute value function. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to pulsating DC (direct current), and yields a higher average output voltage.

For 240 V operation, the switch configures the system as a full-wave bridge, re-connecting the capacitor center-tap wire to the open AC terminal of a bridge rectifier system. This allows 120 or 240 V operation with the addition of a simple SPDT switch. A voltage tripler is a three-stage voltage multiplier.
