How does a rectifier bridge with diodes work? Does its operation vary according to the output voltage of 5V, 12V or another voltage? If it's a three-phase rectifier, does that make any difference? The main use of voltage rectifier bridges is in AC DC converter systems, or voltage sources. Virtually every electronic device has internal alternating current to direct current converters. The price of these converters depends on the quality of the source, the capacitor used, the noise level at the output, and the maximum current and voltage supported. In this video we explain in detail how a single-phase rectifier bridge works.

Show the operation of the rectifier bridge and the current path. Explain that rectification is the same as having the current in the same direction passing through the load, in this case a resistor. We cover the following items throughout this video: Meaning of terms: bridge rectifier, alternating and direct voltage. Rectifying bridges that can be purchased ready-made. Arrangement of diodes in the assembly of a rectifier bridge. Diode symbol and conventional direction of current in the diode. Direction of current through the diode bridge in each positive and negative half cycle. Using the capacitor to regulate the voltage at the output of the rectifier bridge. Highlighted parts in this video (edit annotations): 00:20 - The principle of alternating and direct voltage and current is the first thing to understand when studying rectifier bridges. 01:05 - Alternating current oscillates according to a specific frequency and varies over time, whereas direct current does not. 02:28 - The rectifier bridge is made of diodes, components that direct and allow the passage of electric current in only one direction. 03:29 - Resistors are like loads for circuits, they transform electrical energy into thermal energy, like shower resistors in your home.
