Peak inverse voltage:
The peak inverse voltage rating of a diode may be defined as the maximum value of the reverse voltage that a PN-junction (or diode) can withstand without damaging (or destruction).
When the voltage applied to a diode is more than PIV, it is likely to result in breakdown at the junction.
Important Points
PIV for different rectifiers is shown below:
- Half Wave rectifier: Vm
- Full Wave centre tap rectifier: 2Vm
- Full Wave Bridge rectifier: Vm
