Engineering:Transformer utilization factor

From HandWiki

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]

[math]\displaystyle{ T.U.F = \frac{P_{odc}}{VA\ rating\ of\ transformer} }[/math]

The [math]\displaystyle{ VA }[/math] rating of the transformer can be defined as: [math]\displaystyle{ VA = V_{r.m.s} \dot I_{r.m.s} (For\ secondary\ coil.) }[/math]TRANSFORMER utilization factor for half wave rectifier is .287 or .3.
