The operation of a half wave rectifier is pretty simple. From the theory part, you should know that a pn junction diode conducts current only in 1 direction. In other words, a pn junction diode conducts current only when it is forward biased. The same principle is made use of in a half...
PN junction diode conducts only during the forward bias condition. Half wave rectifier uses thesame principle as PN junction diodeand thus converts AC to DC. In a half-wave rectifier circuit, the load resistance is connected in series with the PN junction diode. Alternating current is the inpu...
In electrical engineering, the half-wave rectifier is a clever circuit that transforms alternating voltage into steady direct voltage using just one diode. It selectively permits either the positive or negative half of the AC waveform to pass, creating a one-way current flow, turning AC into DC....
Where Rectifier Transformers are Used? Rectifier transformers are used for industrial processes which require a significant direct current (dc) supply. Rectifier circuits are used to provide high-current dc for electrochemical processes like chlorine production as well as copper and aluminum production. T...
Bridge Rectifier Operation As we discussed above, a single-phase bridge rectifier consists of four diodes and this configuration is connected across the load. For understanding the bridge rectifier’s working principle, we have to consider the below circuit for demonstration purposes. ...
Rectifier:Converts AC power to DC power PFC:It does Power Factor Correction Half-Bridge Resonant Output:Converts DC to square waved voltage with high frequency (20 kHz to 80 kHz). Control Circuit:Controls voltage and current across and through the lamp respectively. ...

The above figure shows the working principle of a cycloconverter wherein the input wave frequency changed by changing the firing angle applied to the thyristors. By switching the positive and negative limb thyristors, we can get variable output frequency that can be step-up or step-down frequency...
Single phase dual converter uses a single phase as source which is given to converter 1 of dual converter for rectification followed to load. Principle of Operation: A.C input given to converter 1 for rectification in this process positive cycle of input is given to first set of forward biase...
Depending on the operating principle and structural features relays are of different types such as electromagnetic relays, thermal relays, power varied relays, multi-dimensional relays, and so on, with varied ratings, sizes, and applications. Classification or the types of relays depend on the functi...
