The SE80PWG-M3/I is mainly used in power rectification applications, such as switching power supplies, inverters, and motor drives.It can also be used in consumer electronics, motor control, and renewable energies The SE80PWG-M3/I is also suitable for full-wave rectification in low-loss full-wave rectifiers, single-phase and three-phase rectifiers, or solar cell applications.

Working Principle

The SE80PWG-M3/I is a single-phase bridge rectifier, which consists of four diodes connected in a bridge configuration. When an alternating current input is applied, the bridge rectifier converts it into a direct current output. The overall forward voltage drop is minimized and a low loss is achieved. When a positive voltage is applied to the anode of the rectifier, the current will flow through the rectifier and the voltage drop across each diode will be the same. When the polarity of the input voltage is reversed, the diode connected to the anode will no longer conduct, while the other three diodes will conduct. This allows half-wave rectification, which is ideal for applications that require low losses.The SE80PWG-M3/I also features a fast recovery time, which is important for applications that require high-frequency operation. The fast recovery time ensures that the rectifier will not be “on” for too long, and thus helps to reduce losses due to heating. It also means that the rectifier can switch quickly between conducting and non-conducting states, allowing for quick switching of power.
