A "Rectifier" is an electrical component that changes AC current to DC current by blocking current in one direction. High power rectifiers may be "assembled" from multiple individual component rectifiers to handle higher power or larger voltages.

What is tha purpose of a rectifier assembly?

Are you referring to the Rectifier in the Alternator? Simply, a rectifier turns the AC voltage produced my the alternator to run the electrical components in your vehicle and turns it into DC voltage to recharge your battery.The purpose of rectifier assembly is to turn the AC voltage. This is in a car.


What is the purpose of a diode in an alternator?

The diodes are part of the rectifier assembly that converts the alternator's AC output to DC. The alternator's charging output flows through six diodes in the rectifier assembly before it goes to the battery and electrical system.

What is single phase Controlled rectifier?

such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.


How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?

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.


What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?

Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.


How can capacitor smooth or reduce the ripple of the voltage produced by the 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.


What is the population of International Rectifier?

The population of International Rectifier is 2,009.


When was International Rectifier created?

International Rectifier was created in 1947.


Why full wave rectifier is preffered over half wave rectifier?

Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.


Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?

For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
