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 ...

IXYS UK Westcode recently introduced the addition of three new voltage classes to its range of 83 mm die, pressure contact rectifier diodes. The rectifier diodes with voltage rating at 1.5 kV, 4.0 kV, ...

A new approach to designing a synchronous rectifier will help engineers unlock efficiency gains that extend beyond ...

Within the scope of this power electronics tutorial, we will investigate the behavior of a silicon carbide (SiC) rectifier whose operating temperature is significantly greater than the temperature of ...

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 ...

Diode maker HY Electronic (Cayman) has become a supplier of rectifier diodes used in ICCB (in-cable control box) of power charging facilities for electric vehicles (EVs), according to the company. HY ...
