Different Types of Rectifiers – Working and Applications In electronics, Rectifier circuit is the most used circuit because almost every electronic appliance operates on DC (Direct Current) but the availability of the DC Sources are limited such as electrical outlets in our homes provide AC (Alternating current). The rectifier is the perfect candidate for this job in industries & Home to convert AC into DC. Even our cell phone chargers use rectifiers to convert the ACfrom our home outlets to DC. Different types of Rectifiers are used for specific applications. We mainly have two types of voltage types present that are widely used these days. They are alternating and direct voltage types. These voltage types can be converted from one type to another using special circuits designed for that particular conversion. These conversions happen everywhere. Our main supply which we get from power grids are alternating in nature and the appliances we use in our homes generally require a small DC voltage. This process of converting alternating current into direct current is given the name rectification. Converting AC to DC is preceded by further process which can involve filtering, DC-DC conversion and so on. One of the most common part of an electronic power supply is a bridge rectifier. Many electronic circuits require rectified DC power supply for powering various electronic basic components from available AC mains supply. The simple bridge rectifier is used in a variety of electronic AC based power devices. Another way to look at the rectifier circuit is that, it can be said to convert currents instead of voltages. This makes more intuitive sense, because we are more accustomed to using current to define a component’s nature. Concisely, a rectifier take a current which has both negative and positive components and rectifies it such that only the positive component of the current remains. Thank you for watching
