A rectifier is a device that converts AC power, which is always changing directions, to DC power that flows in one steady direction. As most industrial machines and electronics need DC power to function, the applications range from factory automation to heavy-duty braking systems.
A rectifier works by using diodes to serve as electrical one-way gates. The diodes pass the current in one direction but block it in the other. This eventually "rectifies" the alternating current into direct current. As long as it's a rectifier, that can use a portion or the full AC waveform, it will determine how smooth the DC output is.
There are three basic types of rectifiers. Each is used for different applications.
A half-wave rectifier is an electrical circuit that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) by allowing only one half-cycle (either positive or negative) of the AC waveform to pass while blocking the other half-cycle.
A full-wave rectifier is a rectifier that converts the complete cycle of alternating current (AC) into a pulsating direct current (DC) by utilizing both the positive and negative half cycles of the input waveform. It usually requires a center-tapped transformer and is commonly found in power adapters, battery chargers, and braking circuits.
A Bridge Rectifier is a device that changes AC (alternating current) into DC (direct current) using four diodes arranged in a specific way. It helps convert the power we get from electrical outlets into a form that can be used by electronic devices.
