Working Principle

VS-16CTQ100SPBF utilizes a six-diode bridge configuration in order to effectively convert three-phase alternating current into direct current. This process involves connecting the three-phase input to the anode circuit of the six-diode bridge, while connecting the other side to the cathode circuit. When potential differences come into play, the diode will conduct and the current will flow through. By doing this, the alternating current is converted into direct current.

However, since the conduction of the current is limited, the resulting current is not continuous. This leads to pulsed, dynamic current in which peaks and dips occur. As such, an inductance or capacitor is often used, in order to ensure that the current is not affected by any remaining undesired ripple from the conversion. The result is a highly efficient, steady and continuous direct current.

Conclusion

VS-16CTQ100SPBF is a widely used three-phase rectifier array which is particularly useful for medium-to-high power applications which require less forward voltage drops. It is often used in motor control and home appliance applications, as well as some solar energy projects. Furthermore, thanks to its 6-diode bridge configuration, the array can convert three-phase alternating current into pulsed, regulated current with the help of inductance or capacitance.
