RX 10ZV

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A Single Rectifier is a diodes device designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The rectifier is a semiconductor device that has two electrodes – the anode and the cathode. The anode is negatively charged and the cathode positively charged. A single rectifier is used to direct the current in one direction and allow the current to pass in one direction only. This type of device is typically used in low voltage, low current applications.

The RX 10ZV is a single phase rectifier based on four 100A rectifier modules connected in a bridge configuration. It is primarily used to provide regulated DC power supplies in industrial environments, where reliable, low voltage rectification is needed. Each module is constructed from two rectifier tubes, which are connected to the main board via a four-wire terminal block. The voltage and current setting of each module is adjustable, and the total error voltage between the two rectifier tubes can be monitored via two internal temperature sensors.

The working principle of the RX 10ZV is based on the flow of electrons through a semiconductor material, such as silicon. The positive and negative terminals of the rectifier are connected to the two rectifier tubes, which act as a controllable switch. When the switch is open, no current flows through the circuit. When the switch is closed, the voltage applied to the circuit is converted into DC by the rectifier. The output current is regulated by the temperature sensors, which sense the flow of electrons through the diode and make adjustments to the voltage setting accordingly. By controlling the flow of electrons, the voltage is controlled and regulated.

The primary application of the RX 10ZV is in industrial power supplies, providing reliable and adjustable DC power. It is also used in any application where a regulated DC power supply is needed, such as in medical and automotive electronics. Additionally, the RX 10ZV can be used to convert AC into DC in low voltage, low current applications, such as 12V DC power supplies.
