An electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) is the rectifier. The simple process of rectification produces a type of DC characterized by pulsating voltages and ...

Within the scope of this power electronics tutorial, we will investigate the behavior of a silicon carbide (SiC) rectifier whose operating temperature is significantly greater than the temperature of ...
