Abstract: In this article, a circulating-current-excited switched reluctance generator system using a standard diode rectifier is proposed and examined. It features a dc power source connected in ...

Abstract: The rotating rectifier in the brushless synchronous starter/generator is more vulnerable than others. Therefore, fault detection of the rotating rectifier is necessary. This article focuses ...

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 ...

Computer-aided-design (CAD) software can overcome these problems, though. The purpose of this work is to predict the behavior of a nonlinear step-recovery diode (SRD) in a harmonic-generator circuit.

fast recovery rectifier diode with specified Cj of 300pF and Trr of 200ns The mystery DUT The time scale of 100ns/div is constant for all images for ease of comparison. Starting with a 1N4002, the ...
