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 ...

The more common approach to manipulate the incoming AC wave so that both halves are used to cause output current to flow in the same direction is the use of full-wave rectifiers. A full-wave rectifier ...

A glass tube with large copper heat sink on the bottom, and a metal top cap with 8" braided copper leads. Stamped: "Rectron / UV-214 / [RCA logo]". Donor’s card reads: “Half-wave vacuum rectifier made ...
