2. Rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

   As with single-phase rectifiers, three-phase rectifiers can take the form of a half-wave circuit, a full-wave circuit using a center-tapped transformer, or a full-wave bridge circuit. Thyristors are commonly used in place of diodes to create a circuit that can regulate the output voltage. Many devices that provide direct current actually ...

3. Vienna rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_rectifier

   The Vienna Rectifier is a unidirectional three-phase three-switch three-level Pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier. It can be seen as a three-phase diode bridge with an integrated boost converter. [9]

4. Diode bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_bridge

   For example, for a three-phase AC input, a half-wave rectifier consists of three diodes, but a full-wave bridge rectifier consists of six diodes. [citation needed] A half-wave rectifier may be considered a wye connection (star connection), because it returns the current through the center (neutral) wire.

5. Mercury-arc valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve

   Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

6. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

   Three-phase full-wave (Graetz) bridge rectifier circuit using thyristors as the switching elements: Commutation process explained. When just valves 1 and 2 are conducting, the DC voltage is formed from two of the three phase voltages. During the overlap period the DC voltage is formed from all three phase voltages.

   FIGURE 3: Single-phase voltage source full-bridge inverter FIGURE 4: Carrier and modulating signals for the bipolar pulsewidth modulation technique. The full-bridge inverter is similar to the half bridge-inverter, but it has an additional leg to connect the neutral point to the load. [17]
