In a Full Wave Rectifier two diodes act to rectify both positive and negative cycles. A transformer is generally used to isolate the 120VAC (20A) from the secondary. 1. On the positive halfcycle C1,C2,C,C4 charge to +Us thru D2 and D4. D1 and D3 are blocking. 2. On the negative halfcycle C1,C3, charge to -Us, but C2 and C4 can not discharge.
