Revision as of 22:05, 5 March 2004
I've done a substantial rewrite of Diode bridge; at least two remaining items on my agenda for it:
- Rectifier is a redirect to here, but it should be a disamb between the sense of Rectifier diode (as opposed to e.g. laser diodes and LEDs) and the sense of Rectifier circuit; the latter is what should be linked from here.
- The attractive diagrams are not ideal, and my text tries to compensate for that on one hand, and to anticipate the two kinds of changes that could be made to them:
- If they are edited without being completely redone, the letters "AC" should be removed (twice) in each diagram except the last.
- If they are redrafted, putting the diodes one to an arm of a diamond-shaped figure, the inputs at opposite sides, the positive output at the top, and the negative output at the bottom would be preferable. (Should color be made so crucial to understanding? How about making only what is colored now, in the diagrams that have color, leaving the others, where no current flows, dotted. Not a convention i recall ever seeing in electronics, but effective w/o color.) The text description of the flows would change for that, and the wording would be much clearer and less awkward.
I'd also like to see half-wave rectification described, tho maybe it is just as well in Rectifier circuit. I'm not sure about voltage doubler and tripler circuits, as to inclusion at all, or whether they belong with the bridges. --Jerzy 05:37, 2004 Jan 18 (UTC)
