Rectification is a method of converting AC power into DC power. Many electronic devices use rectifier power supplies. A device that can convert a sinusoidal AC voltage with an average value of zero into a unidirectional pulsed DC voltage with a non-zero average value is called a rectifier. Since diodes have unidirectional conductivity, they are used to create various types of rectifiers. The rectifier power supply operates using the 50Hz AC power provided by the power grid. Depending on the number of phases of the AC power supply and the manner in which the rectifier utilizes the positive and negative half-waves of the AC power supply, AC-DC converters can be categorized into two types: half-wave rectifiers and full-wave rectifiers. Rectifiers are inexpensive and widely used in applications such as switching power supplies, AC motor drives, and DC motor servo drives.
