Half-wave rectification requires a single diode in a single-phase supply, or three in a three-phase supply. Rectifiers yield a unidirectional but pulsating direct current; half-wave rectifiers produce far more ripple than full-wave rectifiers, and much more filtering is needed to eliminate harmonics of the AC frequency from the output.
Between the circuit's input and output is a diode that performs half-wave rectification, allowing substantial current flow only when the input voltage is around a diode drop higher than the output terminal. The output is connected to a capacitor of value and resistor of value in parallel to ground. The capacitor is charged as the input voltage ...

The characteristics and components of ripple depend on its source: there is single-phase half- and full-wave rectification, and three-phase half- and full-wave rectification. Rectification can be controlled (uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)) or uncontrolled (uses diodes). There is in addition, active rectification which uses transistors.
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).
