RectifiersAn electrical circuit used to convert AC into DC current. A rectifier is a diode that causes the current to flow in only one direction. The output of the rectifier is essentially half-AC current, which is then filtered into DC.
Bridge Rectifier AdvantageThe main benefit of bridge rectifier over conventional full-wave rectifiers is that with a given transformer, the bridge rectifier generate a voltage output that is nearly twice that of conventional full-wave circuit. Another benefit of bridge rectifier i
Bridge RectifierA bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement to achieve full-wave rectification. This is a widely used configuration, both with individual diodes wired as shown and with single component bridges where the diode bridge is wired inter
