D.C Drive and its Applications

D.C Drive:

In Olden days, Diodes are used to convert Alternating Current to Direct Current. The Current flows through these diodes are not controllable and flows based on load. Latest Silicon generations slim these diodes in very compact mode up to surface mounting level from Olden days Vacuum Valve used for retification. Rectification word is used to convert A.C to D.C. Half wave and Full wave and Bridge type of rectifications are used to get Un controlled Direct Current. The size and Shape of the Diode will vary according to load current rate requirement.

The diagram shows the type rectification used suitable for required applicaitons,
