RS2D-13

RS2D-13 is a single-phase rectifying diode with high power, low forward voltage drop and reverse current leakage characteristics. The device is designed and manufactured to take high alternating and direct currents and it has good temperature stability and very low reverse leakage current. The RS2D-13 is an ideal component for applications where there is a need for reliable rectification of an alternating current.

The RS2D-13 device is used in a number of applications including AC-DC rectification, power supplies, motor control, induction heating, HVAC, lighting and energy conversion.

RS2D-13 is suitable for rectifying and smoothing currents up to 10,000 Amps and has the ability to rectify the positive and negative (reverse) half-cycles of the line voltage. The integrated metal oxideVaristor(MOV) protects the unit from overvoltage. The unit has a rated peak inverse voltage (PIV) rating of up to 1800V, with a peak reverse voltage of up to 1400V.

The RS2D-13 uses a central, controlled current rectifier and it consists of two parts. The main rectifier is the N-type rectifier or anode and the Control Rectification or Cathode is the P-type rectifier. The current flows from the Cathode to the Anode in the Direct Current (DC) circuit and the reverse current is blocked. As the current flows, the control rectification is used to determine the voltage level on either side of the central, controlled rectifier. The RS2D-13 also includes two integrated Zener diodes, each connected between the rectifier and the central, controlled rectifier in order to protect against the voltage overshoots.

The RS2D-13 is used in a wide variety of applications and can be used in a variety of configurations. The most common configuration is to connect two stages of controlled current rectification, one stage from the negative side of the power supply and one from the positive side. The result is rectified voltage on the output, averaged across the two stages. Other configurations include series diode, anti-parallel diode, and parallel diode. The RS2D-13 is used extensively in AC-DC rectified power supplies, motor controls, induction heating, HVAC, lighting, and energy conversion.

The RS2D-13 is an ideal device for AC-DC rectification. It provides maximum efficiency in the conversion of alternating to direct current, with minimal loss. The device is able to withstand high load current, as it is highly reliable with a low reverse current leakage. Its temperature stability and low reverse leakage also ensure excellent operating performance. Furthermore, its peak inverse voltage rating is up to 1800V, which gives the users the peace of mind that the voltage won’t exceed its limit. This, in turn, increases the design efficiency of the system.

In summary, the RS2D-13 rectifier diode is a highly reliable and efficient single-phase rectifier, suitable for applications needing reliable AC-DC rectification. It features two integrated Zener diodes and a MOV for protection from overvoltage, and its current handling capability reaches up to 10,000 Amps. With its high power, low forward voltage drop, good temperature stability and low reverse leakage current, the RS2D-13 is the ideal choice for any system needing reliable rectification.
