Abstract: The rectifier diodes in the rotating rectifier of aviation three-stage generator are exposed to high-speed rotation and high-temperature working environments for a long time, enduring ...

If the voltage on the cathode is greater than that on the anode, the power diode is off and does not conduct current. Its usefulness, therefore, covers the functionality of a switch, a commutator in ...

It can be also said that a rectifier converts a bi-directional current into uni-directional current. Diodes are used to build a Rectifier circuit because of their uni-directional conduction property.

Diodes come in many varieties, and it’s not always obvious how to choose the right one. Let’s start by answering two questions: “What is a diode?” and “why are there so many types?” Actually, let’s ...

Abstract: A simple and robust 24-pulse diode rectifier for low-voltage and high-current applications is proposed in this paper. The proposed 24-pulse diode rectifier consists of a conventional ...

We were on our own. Fortunately there was a second identical unit in for repair, and Lou was able to provide me with a good diode of the same type. Now all I had to do was figure out what it was. A ...

IXYS Corporationan introduced the first of a new range of 83mm diameter die rectifier diodes. The new 2.2kV rectifier, has a current rating of 15,450 amperes, represent a new technology platform for ...

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 ...

today announced the availability of its new L-Flat surface mount packages for high-power rectifier diodes, which utilize a lead-clamp structure to reduce mounting area by 50 percent or more ...
