by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago Center Tapped Full Wave Rectifier : Working, Circuit diagram, Characteristics & Its Applications An electrical device that is used for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) is called a rectifier. Generally, these are available in two types half wave rectifier or HWR and full wave rectifier or FWR. HWRs are not...
by Tarun Agarwal 3 years ago What is 2P4M SCR : Pin Configuration & Its Applications The electronic component called 2P4M SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is a 4-layered PNPN 3-terminal thyristor used to control the AC of the device. It is a unidirectional device because it allows the current flow only in one direction....
by Tarun Agarwal 3 years ago What is Peak Inverse Voltage & Its Working We know that there are different types of materials that carry electricity namely Cu, Al, Ge, Si, etc. These materials are called semiconductors which are used in several electronic devices. These semiconductor materials are good conductors...
by Tarun Agarwal 4 years ago What is Transformer Rectifier and Its Applications In the year 1958, electronics & crane aerospace have led the way to consistent aircraft AC to DC power conversion development. The TRUs (Transformer Rectifier Units) supply an efficient, affordable, as well as consistent power change...
by Tarun Agarwal 4 years ago What is Thyratron : Working and Its Applications The first thyratron was derived from the vacuum tubes like UV-200 in the 1920s. These tubes include a small amount of argon gas which increases its sensitivity like a radio signal detector as well as the german LRS relay tube. Generally,...
by Tarun Agarwal 6 years ago Different Types of Rectifiers & Their Working In a large number of electrical and electronic circuits, DC voltage is required for its operation. We can simply alter the AC voltage into DC voltage by using a device called a PN junction diode. One of the most significant applications...
by Tarun Agarwal 7 years ago Phase Controlled Rectifier Working And Its Applications Unlike diode rectifiers, PCRs or phase controlled rectifiers has an advantage of regulating the output voltage. The diode rectifiers are termed as uncontrolled rectifiers. When these diodes are switched with Thyristors, then it becomes...
by Tarun Agarwal 8 years ago What is a Half Wave Rectifier : Circuit & Its Characteristics In the period 1880’s itself, the identification and uniqueness of rectifiers were started. The advancement of rectifiers has invented various approaches in the domain of power electronics. The initial diode which was employed in the rectifier...
by Tarun Agarwal 8 years ago Types Of Thyristors And Their Applications Commercially, the first thyristor devices were released in 1956. With a small device Thyristor can control large amounts of voltage and power. The wide range of applications in light dimmers, electric power control and speed control of...
by Tarun Agarwal 9 years ago What is a Full Wave Rectifier : Circuit with Working Theory If you know what is a rectifier, then you may know the ways to reduce the ripple or voltage variations on a direct DC voltage by connecting capacitors across the load resistance. This method may be suitable for low power applications, but...
