    1. Improved efficiency: A full-wave centre-tapped rectifier has a higher efficiency compared to a half-wave rectifier, as it utilizes both the positive and negative half-cycles of the AC input voltage. This means that more of the input power is converted to DC output power, resulting in a lower power loss and a higher overall efficiency.
    2. Reduced ripple: A full-wave centre-tapped rectifier has a lower ripple factor compared to a half-wave rectifier, as it produces a smoother DC output voltage. The ripple factor is a measure of the fluctuation in the DC output voltage and is typically expressed as a percentage. A lower ripple factor indicates a more stable DC output voltage and is desirable in many applications.
