Three-phase rectifier.
(1) The diodes are divided into two banks of rectifiers: bank A and bank
B.
CAUTION:
The diode in each of the banks may look the same, but electrically they
can be different (fig 37).

Silicon diodes.
(2) Rectifier bank A will have diodes that look identical to those in
rectifier bank B. However, even though their cases look the same, electrically
they are different and have different part numbers.
(3) The positive pulses of alternating current are passed through
rectifier bank A to the positive lead; the negative pulses of alternating current
are passed through rectifier bank B to the negative lead. Thus, alternating
pulsations of current are converted to a pulsating flow of direct current.
