Are there any issues with designing high power rectifier diodes?

When designing with high power rectifier diodes, there are certain issues to be con- sidered, the most important of these are addressed in this application note. Application Note 5SYA 2029-03

What are the parameters of a diode?

The parameters are defined according to standard IEC 60747. The key features give the basic voltage and current ratings of the diode. These ratings are repeated later in the data sheet where the conditions at which the value is valid are shown. Each of them is explained at the appropriate place in this section.

What type of fuses are used in ABB diodes?

Commonly used are fuses from suppliers Bussmann, www.bussmann.dk, and Ferraz-Shawmut, www.ferrazshawmut. com. For the largest diode sizes ABB have an optional solution for so called «enhanced explosion rating» that allows for higher energies without catastrophic failures during fault conditions.

What are the applications of diode rectifier circuits?

These circuits are used to describe the conversion of a.c signals to d.c in power supplies. Diode rectifier gives an alternating voltage which pulsates in accordance with time. The filter smoothes the pulsation in the voltage and to produce d.c voltage, a regulator is used which removes the ripples.

What is the function of a rectifier?

A rectifier is a diode that can convert the current from alternating current to direct current. The rectifier is connected to one of the AC lines prior to the load. When the diode is turned on, it emits a small amount of current. The rectifier cleans up the circuit. A diode can be forward or reverse biased.

How many amps does a rectifier use?

Products range in current from 6 to 300 amps with voltages from 50 to 1500 volts. These rectifiers feature low forward voltage drop, low reverse leakage currents, high surge current ratings, and high I2t.
