Welcome to the first in a series of articles focusing on electrical calculation basics. This month, we'll discuss the most fundamental of calculations — those for current (I) and kilowatts (kW). We'll ...

The major drawbacks of conventional diode or thyristor rectifiers are overcome by active power factor correction; this further provides additional benefits. Operating principles and features of single ...

Linear Technology has created at three-phase ideal rectifier reference design. Using three of its LT4320 ideal diode bridge controllers and six n-channel mosfets, it is demonstrated on the DC2465 ...

Power factor correction for mains rectifiers is an upcoming issue. Operating principles of single and three phase power factor corrected rectifiers have been explained. Suitable integrated power ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...
