A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

The model of the new grid connection: Thanks to the application of the new diode rectifier unit, the volume of the platform topside is reduced by four-fifths, and the weight is cut by two-thirds.

Claiming a 92% efficiency, the 2500W, 48V FMP25.48 rectifier has a 27W/in. 3 power density, enabling a 12.5 kW of power in a one-rack-unit 23-in. shelf. Features include a 90 to 300V ac input range, a ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...
