The electronic circuit that does the opposite function of a rectifier is called an inverter. It converts any DC signal to AC.
A rectifier converts AC current to DC current. The opposite of an inverter. http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier http:/www.tech-faq.com/what-is-a-rectifier.shtml
you will get the opposite polarity DC as before
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Working the rectifier
such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.
It's really simple. A rectifier is an electronic device that converts AC (alternating current) to DC(direct current). It does so by using an arrangement of electronic components named a diode.An inverter is just the opposite of a rectifier. Meaning it coverts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) and that's just it. The process of how it's done is the same as for a rectifier, but just the diodes are arranged differently.An example of a rectifier device is the power supply inside your desktop computer. Inverters are usually found inside an LCD monitor.
(1) A basic check of a simple electrical rectifier (diode) requires the application of an ohm meter (an electrical resistance measurement device). A digital ohm meter (digital multimeter or DMM) is easier to use than the conventional dial (analog) type of meter. (2) The rectifier must be disconnected from the circuit to be assured of an effective test. (3) Measure the resistance of the rectifier from one terminal to the next. (4) Switch the meter test leads to measure the rectifier in the opposite direction. Do not to touch the electrical conducting parts of the meter leads or the terminals of the rectifier with your fingers or you may cause a false measurement. (5) Usually an effective rectifier has at least a 10 to 1 ratio of resistance as measured one direction versus the other.
Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
when rectifier is on, the capacitor is almost transparent (it charges to the voltage provided from the rectifier) when rectifier is off, capacitor holds the peak voltage since it stored a charge during rectifier on time.
The population of International Rectifier is 2,009.
International Rectifier was created in 1947.
