What’s a Rectifier? A rectifier is an electrical element that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). A rectifier is similar 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, similar to 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 many of its applications in the next section The Half Wave and Full Wave Rectifiers have…
