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
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
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.
