A silicon rectifier, also known as a semiconductor rectifier, is an electronic device made of diodes that allows current to flow in only one direction. Commonly referred to as a diode array, the R711 is a type of silicon rectifier specifically designed for rectifying high-voltage AC power. This device has a wide range of application fields and its working principle is relatively simple.

Application Field of R711 Silicon Rectifier

The R711 silicon rectifier has a number of different applications. Most commonly, it is used in power supplies, electric motor control units, motor speed controllers, electronic power converters and voltage regulators. It can also be used as a protective device in high-potential (HV) power grids, as well as for electric sign and electroplating applications. The R711 is designed to rectify AC power with voltages of up to 5,000 V and power levels of up to 1,000 A.

Working Principle of R711 Silicon Rectifier

The R711 silicon rectifier consists of a semiconductor diode array connected in series and in parallel. Each diode conducts current during the positive half-cycle of the AC power and blocks the negative half-cycle. This type of rectifier is referred to as a Controlled Conduction Mode (CCM) rectifier. The diode array reduces current surge by controlling the charging and discharging of capacitors.

The R711 also features a resistor-capacitor (RC) snubber circuit to control current inrush and counter the voltage spikes caused by the turn-on of the rectifier. The RC snubber is connected in parallel to the diode array and is composed of a resistor and capacitor connected in parallel. The capacitor stores energy and releases it during the turn-on period of the power rectifier, while the resistor dissipates energy as heat.

The R711 is usually mounted on a heat sink and connected to a DC transformer for power conditioning, temperature compensation and voltage regulation. This ensures that the rectifier operates correctly in different ambient temperatures. In addition, the R711 can also be equipped with an overcurrent protection circuit.

Conclusion

The R711 silicon rectifier is an efficient and reliable device for rectifying AC power up to 5,000 V and 1,000A. Its wide range of applications and simple working principle makes it a popular choice for power supplies, motor speed controllers, voltage regulators and electric sign applications. Additionally, the R711 can be equipped with a RC snubber circuit and an overcurrent protection circuit for optimal performance.
