The GP10WHE3/73 is a single-phase bridge rectifier, belonging to the Diodes - Rectifiers - Single category. It has a surge rating of 10A and a peak reverse voltage of 1000V. It is a silicon bridge rectifier, which uses rectification action to convert AC current into unidirectional DC current. The device uses a single-phase bridge configuration, which consists of two diodes connected in series and two diodes connected in parallel to form a bridge. For reverse-biased diodes, the voltage flows through the diodes in the same direction, while current flows through the diodes in the opposite direction. By connecting the diodes in different configurations, the diode bridge rectifier can achieve rectification of AC to DC.

The GP10WHE3/73 is used in a wide range of applications, such as power supplies, battery chargers, motor drives, UPS systems and other AC-to-DC applications. It is particularly suited for applications that require low dissipation and high overload protection, such as switching power supply circuits, automotive electronics, and transformerless power supplies. It also has a higher efficiency than silicon diodes, and is less prone to leakage.

The working principle of a diode bridge rectifier is based on the behavior of diodes when they are connected in reverse bias. When the anode of a diode is connected to a more positive potential than its cathode, the diode is said to be in reverse bias. Under such conditions, current is prevented from flowing between the two terminals, thus making the diode an ideal rectifier.

In a single-phase bridge rectifier, two diodes are connected in series and two diodes connected in parallel. When AC is applied, the voltage drops across each diode, creating a forward bias, resulting in current flow. The current flows through the series-diodes, which will be in the forward-bias voltage transfer state when the input voltage is higher than the forward biased voltage on the two series diodes. On the other hand, the two parallel-diodes are in the reverse-bias voltage transfer state when the input voltage is lower than the forward biased voltage on the two series-diodes. In this way, the diode bridge rectifier converts AC to DC through the alternating voltage transfer of the diodes when AC is applied.

The GP10WHE3/73 is a reliable and cost-effective single-phase bridge rectifier, which is widely used in a variety of applications. Its high surge rating and peak reverse voltage make it suitable for high-power AC to DC conversion. Its high efficiency and low dissipation make it ideal for applications that require high overload protection and low power loss.
