Using half of a bridge?
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 1:21 am
Hi all. I have a nice IXYS hexfred bridge module that I would like to use as a full wave rectifier. What I would like to do is connect a transformer with a 330-0-330 secondary and just use half of the module. I would like to use the centertap as the negative rail instead of taking the negative off of the module thereby making it a simple full wave rectifier rather than a fullwave bridge rectifier. Am I making sense? I don't want to use half of the module. Just two of the diodes. Will this work?
