Basic Principles of Rectifier Module

1. Introduction to Rectifier Module

The Rectifier Module, the Chinese rectifier module, is an electronic device that transforms AC into continuous current. It plays a vital role in powering electronic equipment and is widely used in power supplies, UPS, charging equipment and other fields.

2. Working principle of Rectifier Module

The core component of the Rectifier Module is the diode. When an alternating current passes through the rectifier module, the diode only allows the present current to flow in one direction during the half-wave cycle, thereby achieving the rectification function. According to the polarity of the diode, the rectifier module can be divided into a half-wave rectifier, a full-wave rectifier, a bridge rectifier, etc.

Rectifier Module types and characteristics

1. Half-wave rectifier module

The half-wave rectifier module only uses half the cycle of the alternating current for rectification, so it has the advantages of a simple circuit and low price. However, due to the low conversion efficiency, it is suitable for situations where the load current is small.

2. Full wave rectifier module

The full-wave rectifier module uses two cycles of alternating current for rectification and has high conversion efficiency. It is suitable for large load currents, but the circuit design is relatively complex.

3. Bridge rectifier module

The bridge rectifier module has four diodes with high conversion efficiency and reliability. It is suitable for various load current situations, so it is widely used in power supplies, UPS and other fields.

Rectifier Module selection tips

1. Voltage level selection

When selecting a rectifier module, the first thing to consider is the input voltage rating. According to actual needs, choosing the appropriate voltage level can ensure the regular operation of the equipment and reduce the risk of failure.

2. Current capacity selection

The current capacity of the rectifier module should meet the load requirements. When selecting, the maximum load current should be considered, and a certain margin should be left to ensure that the equipment can still operate stably at peak loads.

3. Conversion efficiency selection

Conversion efficiency is an essential indicator for evaluating the performance of rectifier modules. Choosing modules with high conversion efficiency can reduce energy consumption and reform the overall performance of the equipment. When selecting, choosing a module with a conversion efficiency of at least 90% is recommended.

4. Temperature rise and heat dissipation considerations

Since the rectifier module generates a certain amount of heat during operation, heat dissipation and temperature rise issues must be considered. When selecting a module, you should pay attention to its temperature rise indicator and ensure that the cooling system can dissipate heat promptly to ensure stable operation of the equipment.

5. Reliability and stability selection

The reliability and stability of the rectifier module are crucial to the long-term operation of the equipment. When selecting a model, you should choose a well-known brand with a good reputation and stable performance to guarantee the firm and reliable operation of equipment.
