Half- wave and bridge rectifiers
Half- wave and bridge rectifiers
PMB = Bridge Rectifier
PME = Half-Wave Rectifier
PMEA = Half- Wave Rectifier with protection against overvoltage
PMG = Fast Response Rectifier
These compactmodules have been aspecially designed to be fitted into the terminal boxes of electric-motors.
The PME half wave rectifier which halves the supply voltage is the most cost effective.
The PMB full wave bridge rectifier produces a smooth DC voltage (95% of the supply voltage).
Both rectifiers are available for switching on AC or DC side.
Varistors in the input and output protect the rectifiers from surge voltage.
The PMG fast excitation rectifieris recommended whenever short release times or low dissipation is required. It combines the benefits of the half wave and bridge rectifiers.
