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 ...

substantially reducing losses by eliminating the diodes in the bridge rectifier and substituting modern low-R DS(ON) power MOSFETs. The MOSFETs used are typically employed in high-frequency switch ...

These rectifiers are intended to enable higher current densities in low-voltage, high-frequency inverters, and solar cell junction boxes, where they will be used as bypass diodes for photovoltaic ...

The efficiency of diode-based bridge rectifiers has not kept pace with other technologies. So, in lieu of diodes, one can take advantage of recent MOSFET improvements and use these devices in a ...

Technically, this one-way behavior is known as rectificationas it can, for example, be used to rectify alternating current to direct current, and so thesetypes of diodes are known as rectifiers.
