Today s rectifier operates on the same principles used for decades. Sure,there have been many incremental improvements in manufacturing methodsand materials, but the basic principles are the same. The most noteworthyimprovements are those associated with electronics and computerisation. Allrectifiers have 1) a transformer that lowers Eskom s high voltage to the 6 18volts normally used by electroplaters or to the somewhat higher voltagesrequired by anodisers; 2) a rectification system that changes alternatingcurrent (AC) to direct current (DC); 3) power regulators; 4) controls and 5) ameans of cooling these components.
AC and allow only DC to flow through it. The simplest of these devices is known as a “diode.” Siliconalsocanbepartofcontrol-ling a rectifier.
