It’s something I’ve been proud to recognise and when electroBOOM did his piece on it, I was glowing with pride.
But the basic FBR there creates pulsating DC, for steady DC, you need capacitors, to trim the peak voltage and fill in the dips.
Though, if you have three phase, with each phase on a FBR, and combine the DC output, it’s pretty steady on the output because of how three phase works (no capacitors needed), and I think that’s pretty cool…
Seriously though, three phase AC is really interesting in how it functions.
I don’t know if I should be proud or not that I recognise a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER
I only know this because of ElectroBoom
I mean, I’m relieved I recognize that one since I actually studied electrical engineering and I should remember these kinds of things.
I heard that in his voice
Is that the quadrant of diodes is?
Yes.

Single phase only
