B345CE-13

Introduction

B345CE-13 is a rectifier diode in a single package. It is used in power controls and line drop compensation in power networks. The single-level rectifier designed is suitable for operation in both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power systems. This device offers reliable rectification performance with current ratings up to 10 Amps and stable breakdown voltages up to 1000VDC. It can be used in a wide variety of applications including AC-DC converters, AC motor drives, DC motor drives, switch mode power supplies, and other power conversion systems.

The working principle of a single-level rectifier is based on the junction of two electrodes: anode and cathode. A rectified current flows when the anode is positive and the cathode is negative. This allows AC power to be converted to DC power using just one level of rectification.
