Given,

Dc load power = 500 W,
We need to find ac input power from the transformer.
As we know, the formula for the efficiency of half wave rectifier is as below,
efficiency = dc load power/ac input power.
We know that the efficiency of half-wave rectifier =40.6% or 0.406.
Therefore,

0.406=500/ac input power.
Ac input power = 500/0.406.
Ac input power = 1231.52.
Therefore, the answer is 1232.

The efficiency of hwr is 40.6%.
And the Ripple factor is 1.21.

The efficiency is 40.6.

i.e 500/.406 = 1231.5.

Here, hwr efficiency is 40.6.

Given,
Dc load power = 500 W.
We know that efficiency = dc load power/ac input power.
For hwr efficiency = 0.402 or 40.2%
Therefore,
0.402 = 500/Pac.
Pac = 1250W
