Working principle of the VUO16-18NO1

The VUO16-18NO1 is an isolated full bridge rectifier, constructed from four discrete semiconductor elements. These elements – denoted diodes D1, D2, D3 and D4 in the circuit diagram – are arranged in a bridge configuration, connected to an AC power source on one side, and a DC load on the other side.

When an alternating current is applied to the AC terminals of the bridge, the two inner diodes (D2 and D3) become forward-biased and start conducting current, while the outer two diodes (D1 and D4) remain reverse-biased and remain non-conductive. This configuration allows the positive and negative portions of the AC waveform to be conducted to the DC load, where they are rectified and smoothed by the load element.

The main advantage of the VUO16-18NO1 is its low-voltage drop across the bridge rectifier, which makes it suitable for use with high-grade sources. This also ensures that the end user can efficiently use the power from the AC source and convert it to the desired DC voltage. In addition, the strong galvanic isolation between the AC and DC circuit elements ensures safety, as well as preventing unnecessary chemical and electrical stress.

Conclusion

The VUO16-18NO1 bridge rectifier is a versatile device, with a number of potential applications in the electronics industry. Its main use is as a rectifier, allowing the conversion of alternating current to a direct current output. Its low-voltage drop across the bridge rectifier makes it suitable for use with high-grade sources, while its galvanic isolation between the AC and DC circuit elements ensures safety.
