Classification

   Rectifiers are classified by the following criteria:

   By type of switch is rectifiable current

   mechanical synchronized with schetochnokollektornym switch current (used in collecting DC generator, a mechanical rectifiers for aluminum production)

   synchronous with the mechanical contact switch (rectifier) current

   e-controlled switching current (eg, thyristor);

   e-passive switching current (eg, diode);

   On the power

   power rectifiers (in power electronics, energy)

   rectifiers signals (in Electronics and Automation)

   The degree of half-cycles of alternating voltage:

   -wave - is passed to the load only one half-wave. Advantage - a minimum of switching elements. Disadvantage - the load of the transformer depends on the phase, which is why there are additional harmonics on the findings of the transformer.

   -wave - is passed to the load both half-wave.

   nepolnovolnovye - do not make full use of sinusoidal half-wave.

   full-wave - make full use of sinusoidal half-wave.

   The scheme of rectification - bridge, with the multiplication voltage transformer with galvanic isolation, beztransformatornye etc.

   The number of used phases - one phase, two-phase, three-phase and multiphase

   Type of electronic valve - semiconductor diode, semiconductor, thyristor, diode vacuum tube (valve tube), Gazotron, Ignitron, electrochemical, etc.

   Manageability - uncontrolled (diode), controlled (thyristor).

   The number of channels - single-channel, multi-channel.

   On the value of the rectified voltage - low voltage (up to 100V), Medium (100 to 1000V), high voltage (over 1000V).

   On purpose - welding for power microelectronic circuits for power tube anode circuits, for electroplating, etc.

   The degree of completeness of bridges - polnomostovye, half-bridge, chetvertmostovye.

   By the presence of stabilization devices - stabilized, unstabilized.

   Management output parameters - regulated, unregulated.

   To display the output parameters - without any indication from the indication (analog, digital).

   By the method of connection - parallel, serial, parallelnoposledovatelnye.

   By the method of association - are separate, united stars combined rings.

   Frequency rectifiable current - low frequency, medium, high.
