Center Tapped Full-Wave Rectifier minimum Io rating?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the minimum output current (Io) rating for a Center Tapped Full-Wave Rectifier. Initially, the poster believed the formula was Io = IAVE x 1.2 but struggled with the calculation. After further consideration, they confirmed that the formula is indeed correct. The confusion stemmed from an error in their calculations rather than the formula itself. Accurate calculations are essential for proper rectifier performance.

Just as the title states I am having trouble calculating the minimum Io rating in a Center Tapped Full-Wave Rectifier. I thought it was I AVE x 1.2 but that has not seemed to give me the right answer. I would appreciate any help. (The scan is from an old homework assignment).

Never mind it is I ave x 1.2. I just had my calculation wrong.
