Calculating the output voltage of Rectifiers

A rectifier converts an AC Signal into DC. AMTECS typically uses the halfwave rectifier in their brake motors.
Typically standard brake motors are available in two different voltage ranges

  • 230/400V have a 110v dc Brake and half wave rectifier (230v AC Supply).
  • 400/690V have a 186v dc Brake and half wave rectifier (400v AC Supply).

Below are details and a calculator for rectifiers:
