The main advantage of the bridge rectifier is that it produces almost double the output voltage as with the case of a full-wave rectifier using a center-tapped transformer. But this circuit doesn’t need a center-tapped transformer so it resembles a low-cost rectifier.
The bridge rectifier circuit diagram consists of various stages of devices like a transformer, Diode Bridge, filtering, and regulators. Generally, all these blocks combination is called a regulated DC power supply that powers various electronic appliances.
