The main difference between a 1n4004 and a 1n4007 are in the maximum RMS voltage, the maximum DC blocking voltage and the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. These are 280 and 700, 400 and 1000, and 400 and 1000 volts respectively.
When people talk about 480V systems, they mean 480 is the RMS voltage.
The dc voltage of a rectified ac voltage will be the peak value of the ac voltage less the forward voltage drop of the diode.The rms voltage of a sinusoidal ac voltage is sqrt(peak) / 2, but you also have to consider if the ac voltage is balanced around zero.For a normal US house voltage of 117VAC, the peak voltage is about 165V, or 330V peak to peak. Your dc voltage is then around 164V.Run that rectified voltage through a capacitor, and you will still have 164V peak value, but the voltage over time will dip because the capacitor will discharge during diode off time, and recharge when it turns back on.AnswerA given value of a.c. rms voltage is exactly equivalent to the corresponding value of d.c. voltage. For example, 120 V (rms) is exactly equivalent to 120 V d.c. This is why the alternative name for 'rms voltage' is 'effective voltage'. This is based on the fact that a current of, say, 10 A (rms) will do exactly the same amount of work as a d.c. current of 10 A. And, of course, voltage and current are proportional.
A: Peak voltage is RMS multiplied by a factor of 1.41
The rms of 10V is 6.02V. Take the peak voltage of the sine wave and multiply it by 0.707.
Peak Inverse Voltage, the maximum reverse bias (inverse) voltage that can be applied to the diode without damaging or destroying it. The work "peak" is used to remind you that when using the diode to rectify AC (or arbitrary waveforms) you must use the peak voltage, not the RMS voltage.

When the AC waveform goes to one peak, the capacitor that follows the diode is charged to that peak value. When the AC waveform goes to the other peak, the same diode is reverse biased between the alternate peak value and the charged value of the capacitor. This differential voltage is two times peak voltage.
A: It realy does not matter half or full wave. the PIV will be 1.41 the RMS input example 100v ac will have a requirement of PIV of 141 volts on the rectifiers.
rms stands for root mean squared. rms voltage is a way of measuring a sort of average alterating current voltage as distinguished from peak-to-peak voltage. Likewise for ac rms current.
If voltage is given as RMS voltage (which it normally is), simply multiply the number of volts by the RMS current (as number of amps), and then divide by one thousand. Power (in kW)=Voltage (RMS volts) * Current (RMS amps) / 1000 (watts/kW)
RMS voltage is the DC equivalent of your AC waveform. Vrms=(Vpeak)/(root two) If your peak voltage is 170V then the RMS voltage would be approx. 120 V (see related link)

The average voltage is the rms voltage.Volts peak = volts RMS times 1.414Volts RMS = volts peak times 0.7071Use the link below to an RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage calculator.********************************The average voltage is not the r.m.s. voltage.The average voltage of a sine wave is 0.636 x the peak value. Conversely, peak voltage is 1.57 the mean or average.
v peak = v rms times square root (2) Note: A junction voltage of 0.3V is atypical. Normally a silicon diode has a forward voltage between 0.6 volts to 1.4V depending on current. Are you sure about the forward voltage? Perhaps you are talking about germanium or schottky diodes?
