1
The PIV of both rectifiers is the same.
2
The transformer utilisation factor is the same for both circuits.
3
A bridge rectifier has double the peak inverse voltage (PIV) compared to a centre-tapped rectifier.
4
The transformer utilisation factor (TUF) is better for a bridge rectifier than for a centre-tapped rectifier.
