Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at ...

Because of this I’ve used 1N4001 diodes to make the bridge rectifier. Bridge rectifiers are also known as full-wave rectifiers because they take the alternating current and use both parts of the ...

One constant source of power loss in circuits they have always contended with is the “bridge rectifier,” a series of diodes arranged such that the output will be a positive signal, regardless of the ...

This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by eliminating the diodes in the bridge rectifier A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply ...

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has announced a family of active diodes which can reduce the 1.2V forward drop of 600V bridge rectifiers. “Both products are self-powered from the AC line and do not ...

Ideal diode bridge controller for 9 V to 72 V systems replaces each of the four diodes in a full-wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel MOSFET. The LT4320 from Linear Technology is an ...

WeEn Semiconductors has unveiled a pair of 2,000V rectifiers in TO247 packaging, one rated at 90A and the other at 60A. They are the WND90P20W and the WND60P20W respectively. “These devices are ...

Leaky diodes and rectifiers take more patience. Open signal diodes are common, but silicon rectifiers are generally shorted. One exception is bridge rectifiers where poor quality internal ...

The LT4320 from Linear Technology is designed to replace each of the four diodes in a full wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N channel mosfet. Aimed at 9 to 72V systems, the diode bridge ...
