bridge rectifier circuit
A double-way rectifier circuit in which (1) each terminal of the alternating-voltage circuit is connected to the anode of one rectifier element in a set of elements whose cathodes are all connected to the positive output of the circuit, (2) each terminal of the alternating-voltage circuit is also connected to the cathode of one rectifier element in another set of elements whose anodes are all connected to the negative output, and (3) the load is connected between the positive and negative outputs.
NOTE The term is derived from the similarity in layout of a single-phase four-element bridge rectifier to that of a Wheatstone bridge.References
