INSEL Rectifiers India manufactures high quality and cost-effective bridge rectifier, which provides full wave rectification from an AC power source for electronic equipment. Our line of bridge rectifiers can complete your electronic equipment’s power and case style requirements.

Rectifiers An 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 A 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 internally.

Bridge Rectifier Advantage The 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 is the low ratio of peak inverse voltage to average output voltage.

A half-wave rectifier is a circuit that allows only one half-cycle of the AC voltage waveform to be applied to the load, resulting in one non-alternating polarity across it. The resulting DC delivered to the load “pulsates” significantly.
