DIAC

DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current) is like a TRIAC without a gate terminal. DIAC conducts current in both directions depending on the voltage connected to its terminals. When the voltage between the two terminals greater than the breakdown voltage, the DIAC conducts and the current goes in the direction from the higher voltage point to the

RECTIFICATION

Rectifiers can be classified as uncontrolled and controlled rectifiers, and the controlled rectifiers can be further divided into semi-controlled and fully controlled rectifiers. Uncontrolled rectifier circuits are built with diodes, and fully controlled rectifier circuits are built with SCRs. Both diodes and SCRs are used in semi-controlled rectifier circuits. There are several rectifier configurations. The most
