What is a rectifier module?

A rectifier module is a part of all the electric equipment composed of diode or diodes, which convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Diode is a device that allows flow of current through it only in one direction and often it is used to design rectifiers. Rectifier diode acts as a rectifier, with the main function of changing AC to DC, and is broadly used in power rectifier circuits.

A rectifier module comes in various physical forms such as vacuum tube diodes, solid state diodes, silicon-controlled rectifiers, valves of mercury arc and silicon-based semiconductor switches. Almost all the rectifiers contain more than one diode in particular arrangements.

Basically, a rectifier module produces DC that encloses active current and voltage, which are then adjusted into a type of constant voltage DC, though this varies depending on the current's end use. The current flow is uninterrupted in single direction, no current is permitted in another direction.

Rectifier modules have different types of configurations, depending on the components such as type of supply, control nature, and components used, among others. Majorly rectifier modules are classified into half wave, full wave, three phase and single phase rectifier modules as well as half controlled, uncontrolled and full controlled rectifiers.

Rectifier modules have many applications including radio signal or detectors, DC power supplies, a power source rather than generating current, direct current and high voltage power transmission system, various household appliances, such as laptops or notebook, television and video games system, require power rectifiers to create power.

Ideal power converter is the one that supplies the best current to the load. The global surge in the demand of rectifier modules is due to enlargement of the electronic industry.

Manufacture of the rectifier module at effective and minimal cost is considered as the key factor hindering the growth of the rectifier module market. The rectifier module market has become competitive as there are some established players in the market, which is a barrier for the new players in the market. Latest trend of rectifier module is that the converters of mercury-arc are used on reversible drivers and for wide-range grid control. Another recent combination been introduced is the combination of transformer and rectifier module, which has the potential to swing the market in a positive way.

With the growing use of power thyristors, used in welding machines and high voltage power-controlled applications, rectifier modules of silicon-controlled rectifiers also contribute a healthy share in its sales and is a good future opportunity for its players.

Nowadays, they are exponentially used in field excitation of rotating machines, whereas improvements in the variable-speed AC motors is expected.

Rectifier

A circuit that makes sure a voltage stays only positive or negative. In power supplies, it is used to remove the negative component of AC voltage, or to protect you from plugging in module&#;s power connector backwards. As a module, a half-wave rectifier passes only positive voltages and replaces anything negative with 0v; a full-wave rectifier takes any negative voltages and inverts them so they become positive. This effectively doubles the frequency of many simple waveforms, like the triangle and sine.

A rectifier is an electrical component that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). A rectifier is analogous to a one-way valve that allows an electrical current to flow in only one direction. The process of converting AC current to DC current is known as rectification. A rectifier can take several physical forms, such as solid-state diodes, vacuum tube diodes, mercury-arc valves, silicon-controlled rectifiers, and various other silicon-based semiconductor switches. Having discussed what a rectifier is, let us look at a few of its applications in the next section:

Applications and Uses of Rectifiers

The primary application of the rectifier is to derive DC power from AC power. Rectifiers are used inside the power supplies of almost all electronic equipment. In power supplies, the rectifier is normally placed in series following the transformer, a smoothing filter, and possibly a voltage regulator. Below, we have discussed a few rectifier applications:

A rectifier is used for powering appliances

As we know, all electrical appliances use a DC power supply to function. Using a rectifier in the power supply helps in converting AC to DC power supply. Bridge rectifiers are widely used for large appliances, which can convert high AC voltage to low DC voltage.

These are used with transformers

Using a half-wave rectifier can help us achieve the desired dc voltage by using step-down or step-up transformers. Full-wave rectifiers are even used for powering up the motor and led, which works on DC voltage.

Uses of rectifier while soldering

A half-wave rectifier is used in soldering iron types of circuits and is also used in mosquito repellent to drive the lead for the fumes. In electric welding, bridge rectifier circuits are used to supply steady and polarized DC voltage.

It is also used in AM radio

A half-wave rectifier is used in AM radio as a detector because the output consists of an audio signal. Due to the less intensity of the current, it is of very little use to the more complex rectifier.

Uses of Rectifier in circuits

A half-wave rectifier is used in firing circuits and pulse generating circuits.

It is used for modulation

A half-wave rectifier is used to demodulate the amplitude of a modulated signal. In a radio signal, a full-wave bridge rectifier is used to detect the amplitude of a modulating signal.

It is used in the voltage multiplier

For the purpose of the voltage multiplier, a half-wave rectifier is used.
