← TechnologyWhich risk increases substantially when a single-phase rectifier circuit lacks sufficient reservoir capacitance?
A)Increased DC voltage ripple✓
B)Reduced transformer core saturation
C)Minimized harmonic current distortion
D)Enhanced power factor correction
💡 Explanation
An inadequate reservoir capacitor permits significant voltage drop between AC cycles because charge depletion occurs without timely replenishment; therefore increased DC voltage ripple results, rather than reduced core saturation; saturation relates to persistent DC magnetisation.
