Rectifier Bridge, also known as the Puente Rectificador, is a type of electronic circuit that converts AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current). It accomplishes this task by using four diodes arranged in a diamond-like configuration. The bridge rectifier consists of two diode pairs connected head-to-head and tail-to-tail, forming a diamond shape. When an alternating current flows through the circuit, each pair of diodes allows current to flow in one direction only. The resulting DC output is then taken from the midpoint of the two diode pairs. The Rectifier Bridge is commonly used in power supplies for electronic devices such as radios, televisions and computers. It's also widely used in motor control circuits, where AC motors require a stable DC supply. In addition to its widespread use in industrial electronics, the bridge rectifier has applications in medical equipment and audio amplifiers. The simplicity of this circuit design makes it an ideal choice for many electronic projects.
