Rectifier electric power installations
Rectifiers supply main DC motors autonomous vehicles and drilling rigs.
Typically, autonomous vehicles (trucks, tractors, locomotives, ships, nuclear-powered, aircraft) for electricity used alternators, as they have more power at smaller dimensions and weight than DC generators. But to drive the propellers of transport commonly used DC motors, since they allow simple switching poles supplying power to control the direction of motion. It eliminates the complicated, difficult and unreliable transmissions. Also used for drive drilling rig machines.
On-board power converters DC autonomous vehicles: automotive, rail, water, aviation and other equipment.
Generation of electricity in the vehicle is usually done by an alternator, but for the food onboard equipment requires a constant current. For example, in cars used electromechanical or solid state rectifiers.
