Solution

The Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) of a diode in a full bridge rectifier is equal to the peak voltage of the input. The peak voltage can be calculated using the formula Vpeak = √2 * Vrms, where Vrms is the root mean square of the voltage.

Given that the Vrms is 230V (from the AC supply), we can substitute this into the formula:

Vpeak = √2 * 230V = approximately 325V

Therefore, the minimum PIV rating of each of the diodes should be 325V. So, the correct answer is c. 325 V.
