When a rectifier is loaded which of the following voltage drops take place ?
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Voltage drop in transformer reactance
- B. Voltage drop in resistance of transformer and smoothing chokes
- C. Arc voltage drop
- D. All of the above
Explanation
Under load, voltage is lost in transformer reactance, transformer and smoothing-choke resistance, and the rectifier arc itself. Consequently, all the listed voltage drops occur.
