In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

Eltek Valere’s new 2000-W ac-dc rectifier for telecom applications boosts typical efficiency from the 92% available from some existing rectifiers to 96%, cutting rectifier power losses in half (see ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

FLOWN over here by the, International Rectifier Co. (Great Britain) Ltd. for display at the exhibition is one of the largest silicon rectifier stacks, in existence, pictured above. So, 64 years ago, ...
