Imagine if the AC voltage from the left can deliver large amounts of current, then a large current will flow through the zener diode as it tries to limit the voltage. To solve this a series resistor (instead of D5, D6) would be needed. Even then the resistor and zenerdiode will burn a lot of power. It is a power inefficient solution. A zener diode in series can also work but it needs to be high power (a couple of Watt) and low voltage, these are hard to find. Using diodes is simple and easy. | |
