double-way rectifier circuit
A circuit in which the current flows in both directions from each terminal of the alternating-voltage circuit to the rectifier circuit elements connected to each terminal.
NOTE The terms “single-way” and “double-way” provide a means for describing the effect of the rectifier circuit on current in the transformer windings connected to the rectifier circuits. Most rectifier circuits may be classified into these two general types. Many double-way circuits are also referred to as bridge circuits.References
