Application of rectifier diodes in automotive generator rectifiers

What role does rectifier diode play in the automotive field, and what are the main applications of rectifier diode in the automotive field?

The main application of rectifier diodes is rectification, which can convert alternating current into direct current. For single-phase alternating current, four rectifier diodes are required to form a rectifier circuit, which is called a bridge rectifier circuit.

However, for single-phase AC power, the rectifier diode bridge rectifier circuit only flips the negative half of the AC power, so the DC power at this time is dynamic DC power.

Nowadays, car generators use three-phase AC power, which is converted into DC through an internal rectifier diode rectifier, requiring at least six rectifier diodes.

The phase difference of three-phase AC power is 120 degrees. After rectification by rectifier diodes, the highest voltage range of each phase is taken, so the rectified voltage is basically taken over from pure DC power.

The above is the application field of rectifier diodes in automotive generator rectifiers and the role of rectifier diodes.
