W2830 and W3090 ICs are high current pressure contact rectifier diodes. It features voltage rating of 6 kV and surge current ratings at 36 kA and the devices are encapsulated in fully hermetic ceramic ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the availability of a low loss 3-phase ideal diode bridge rectifier reference design, demonstrated on evaluation board DC2465. Conventional 3-phase rectifiers ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

The world’s largest rectifier transformer has been delivered to the site of Aluminium Bahrain’s (Alba’s) Line 6 expansion project. In a statement, Alba said that it has received two of the expected ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...
