Diodes – Bridge Rectifiers are control devices comprised of a combination of four diodes wired in a pattern to form a bridge configuration. This device rectifies the alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), effectively allowing it to flow in one direction. S3BR25F is a single-phase bridge rectifier with a peak repetitive AC reverse voltage of 25V. It allows for a maximum average output current of 5 Amperes at an operating frequency of either 50 or 60Hz, and a surge maximum of 8 Amperes.

Application Field

The S3BR25F is part of a family of bridge rectifiers widely used in a number of applications. It is mostly used in a wide variety of power-related applications, such as power supplies, DC to DC converters, light dimmers, battery chargers and motor drives. Additionally, the S3BR25F is the most reliable device when used as a polarity protection, electrical system noise filter and speed controllers.

Working Principle

The use of four interconnected diodes enables the S3BR25F to rectify incoming alternating current (AC) and convert it to pulses of direct current (DC). The working principle behind the device is based on the p-n junction of the formed diodes, which functions as an isolating barrier through which current is able to flow in only one direction.

The AC voltage supplied to the input terminals of the S3BR25F is then passed through two diagonally opposite diodes (Da and Dd). This results in one diode (Da) providing a charging current to the external load while the other (Dd) acts as a back-EMF protection source. At the same time, the remaining two diodes (Db and Dc) are connected in parallel with the previously mentioned ones and block the reverse flow of current.

During this process, a waveform is created on an AC line, which subsequently produces an AC ripple on the output terminals as a result of the cut-off voltage during the diodes’ high peak forward voltage. The waveform is then smoothed by three methods, including: the load resistance, the capacitor and the filter chock.

Conclusion

To sum up, the S3BR25F is a single-phase bridge rectifier, most commonly used in power-related applications – such as power supplies, DC to DC converters, and battery chargers. The device is composed of four interconnected diodes, which enable it to rectify the alternating current (AC) and convert it to pulses of direct current (DC) Additionally, the waveform created is then smoothed out by a combination of a load resistance and a capacitor.
