BRIDGE RECTIFIERS (UNCONTROLLED)
Single phase or three phase
A bridge rectifier provides full-wave rectification from a two-wire AC input, resulting in lower cost and weight as compared to a rectifier with a 3-wire input from a transformer with a center-tapped secondary winding.
APPLICATIONS
- Supplies for DC power equipment
- Input Rectifier for PMW inverter
- Battery DC power supplies
- Field supply for DC motors
