Working Principles

The SWR200C operates based on the principle of rectification. When an alternating current is applied to the diode, it allows the flow of current in one direction (forward bias) while blocking it in the opposite direction (reverse bias). This process converts AC to DC by eliminating the negative half-cycles of the input signal.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The SWR200C is commonly used in the following applications:

1. Power Supplies: It rectifies the AC input from the mains to provide DC power for various electronic devices.
2. Battery Chargers: It converts the AC input to DC for charging batteries efficiently.
3. Motor Control: It rectifies the AC voltage to control the speed and direction of motors.
4. Lighting Systems: It converts AC power to DC for driving LEDs or other lighting elements.
