  2. Diode bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_bridge

    A diode bridge is a bridge rectifier circuit of four diodes that is used in the process of converting alternating current (AC) from the input terminals to direct current (DC, i.e. fixed polarity) on the output terminals. Its function is to convert the negative voltage portions of the AC waveform to positive voltage, after which a low-pass ...

  3. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    In power supply design, a bridge circuit or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of diodes or similar devices used to rectify an electric current, i.e. to convert it from an unknown or alternating polarity to a direct current of known polarity. In some motor controllers, an H-bridge is used to control the direction the motor turns.

  4. Active rectification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_rectification

    Paralleling two MOSFETs (pink curve) reduces the losses further, whereas paralleling several diodes won't significantly reduce the forward-voltage drop. Active rectification, or synchronous rectification, is a technique for improving the efficiency of rectification by replacing diodes with actively controlled switches, usually power MOSFETs or ...

  5. Rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

    A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known as rectification, since it "straightens" the direction of current.

  6. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

    The basic LCC configuration for HVDC uses a three-phase Graetz bridge rectifier or six-pulse bridge, containing six electronic switches, each connecting one of the three phases to one of the two DC terminals. [12] A complete switching element is usually referred to as a valve, irrespective of its construction. Normally, two valves in the bridge ...
