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 ...

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 ...
