GSIB15A40-E3/45

Diodes are semiconductor components that allow electric current to flow in only one direction. Bridge rectifiers are diodes arranged in a pattern to allow alternating current (AC) to be converted into direct current (DC). The GSIB15A40-E3/45 is a single-phase glass-passivated bridge rectifier with a maximum rating of 40A, 1.5KV forward voltage, and 1.2A reverse leakage current. This rectifier is commonly used in various applications, including variable frequency drives, electrical and electronic power systems, and power supplies.

The GSIB15A40-E3/45 bridge rectifier consists of four individual diodes arranged in a bridge configuration. An alternating current is connected to a transformer that steps-down the voltage, which is then applied to the bridge rectifier. When an AC voltage is applied to the input of the bridge, the diagonally connected diodes conduct alternately resulting in an output DC voltage. In other words, the rectifier converts alternating current to pulsating DC, which is then smoothed by a filter to form a steady output DC voltage.

The GSIB15A40-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier, meaning it only requires one AC voltage for operation. It has a maximum AC forward voltage rating of 1.5KV, making it suitable for high voltage applications. This bridge rectifier has a maximum forward current rating of 40A, and is capable of handling peak inverse voltage up to 1200V. This rectifier is constructed with an epoxy material for environmental protection and insulation.
