  2. Rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

    As with single-phase rectifiers, three-phase rectifiers can take the form of a half-wave circuit, a full-wave circuit using a center-tapped transformer, or a full-wave bridge circuit. Thyristors are commonly used in place of diodes to create a circuit that can regulate the output voltage. Many devices that provide direct current actually ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve

    Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

    The top plot shows the individual three phase signals, the middle plot shows the half-wave rectifier output in solid curve and the bottom plot shows the full-wave rectifier output in solid curve. The 'T' in time is the time period of individual signals and V p e a k {\displaystyle \scriptstyle V_{\mathrm {peak} }} is the amplitude of each of ...

  6. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

    The characteristics and components of ripple depend on its source: there is single-phase half- and full-wave rectification, and three-phase half- and full-wave rectification. Rectification can be controlled (uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)) or uncontrolled (uses diodes). There is in addition, active rectification which uses transistors.

  7. Aryl halide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryl_halide

    In organic chemistry, an aryl halide (also known as haloarene) is an aromatic compound in which one or more hydrogen atoms, directly bonded to an aromatic ring are replaced by a halide. Haloarenes are different from haloalkanes because they exhibit many differences in methods of preparation and properties. The most important members are the ...

  8. Pulsed DC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_DC

    Pulsed DC is commonly produced from AC (alternating current) by a half-wave rectifier or a full-wave rectifier. Full wave rectified ac is more commonly known as Rectified AC. PDC has some characteristics of both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) waveforms. The voltage of a DC wave is roughly constant, whereas the voltage of an AC ...

  9. Haloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloalkane

    Tetrafluoroethane (a haloalkane) is a colorless liquid that boils well below room temperature (as seen here) and can be extracted from common canned air canisters by simply inverting them during use. The haloalkanes (also known as halogenoalkanes or alkyl halides) are alkanes containing one or more halogen substituents. [1]
