Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers

A bridge rectifier is a four-diode device that forms a full-wave rectifier. It offers several benefits such as high voltage output and low power losses. The bridge rectifier is popularly used in various applications, such as welding machines, detectors, process and instrumentation control, UPS systems, and so on. In this article, we will discuss the BR106 application field and working principle.

BR106 Application Field

The BR106 is a high-performance diode rectifier that is widely used in numerous power supply and switching applications. It is a very reliable device with a built-in surge protection and short-circuits protection elements. The BR106 offers superior performance in terms of safe current conduction, reverse voltage, and reverse current under abnormal conditions as well as over-voltage and over-current protection. It is designed to effectively protect and improve the current conduction of the rectifier.The benefit of BR106 bridge rectifiers lies in their wide range of applications. They are especially suitable for moderate-to-high power supplies, welding devices and all kinds of motors, transformers, and generators. BR106 devices are also used in voltage regulation systems, power integration, and communications systems. The BR106 is available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and frequencies, allowing for customization to fit specific applications.

BR106 Working Principle

The BR106 bridge rectifier consists of four diodes that are arranged in a bridge configuration. It creates a full-wave rectifier’s output, which means that it can provide both positive and negative output voltages. In a bridge rectifier, the diodes in the rectifier bridge allow current to flow in one direction only, by conducting on alternate half-cycles of the input AC voltage.When an AC voltage is applied to the bridge rectifier, the positive cycle causes the outer two diodes of the bridge to conduct. This causes the current to flow through the lower diode and into the load, creating the positive polarity. When the alternating current has a negative cycle, the outer two diodes of the bridge rectifier act as blocking diodes, inhibiting current flow through the outer diodes. Meanwhile, the inner two diodes conduct, and the current travels through the positive diode, passes to the load, and produces the negative polarity.In addition to the full-wave rectification of the AC voltage, the BR106 bridge rectifier can provide protection from arcing, over-currents and over-voltages. It utilizes a fast recovery diode to prevent high-speed switching transients and does not require any additional components. Moreover, the BR106 contains an integrated ESD protection diode that can effectively protect the circuitry from external high-voltage electric fields.

Conclusion

The BR106 is an extremely reliable and efficient device for a wide variety of applications. It offers superior performance due to its bridge rectification ability, surge protection, and reverse current and reverse voltage protection. BR106 devices are used in various applications, including welding machines, detectors, process and instrumentation control, UPS systems, voltage regulation systems, power integration, and communications systems. The BR106 typically allows for very low power losses and allows reliable full-wave rectification of AC voltages.
