I*R 612305 CONTROL RECTIFIER 9316

I*R 612305 CONTROL RECTIFIER 9316

control rectifier is a type of rectifier that allows for the control of the output DC voltage. Here’s a brief overview of its function and applications:

Function

A control rectifier uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) or other similar devices like MOSFETs and IGBTs to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) while allowing the output voltage to be varied. This is different from an uncontrolled rectifier, which provides a fixed output voltage.

Applications

Control rectifiers are widely used in various industrial applications where controlled DC power is required, such as:

• Traction systems (e.g., electric trains)
• Portable hand drives
• Light dimmers
• Fan speed regulators
