The rectifying circuit may take the form of a diode bridge network that includes four diode branches.

The circuit protection component may include a steering diode bridge and a crowbar device electrically connected to the steering diode bridge.

A diode bridge (20) is connected between the tip and ring signals.

A bridge diode, also called a rectifier, consists of four diodes.

Stabilization circuits may be provided in parallel with each diode branch in order to decrease the impedance of the diode bridge network during particular periods of operation.

A failsafe mechanism for protecting telecommunication equipment, having a tip (26) and ring (28), by shunting a sustained overvoltage or excessive current surge to ground, includes a failsafe clip (36), a diode bridge (11), and a trigger unit (12).

Instead of the usual diode bridge, only one diode is used.

A secondary side (28, 26) of each transformer (20, 22) may be separately connected to one of a pair of series-connected, three-phase diode bridges or serially connected together to a single three-phase diode bridge (30).

There are several embodiments of electronic switches, including, but not limited to, a diode bridge circuit in conjunction with an IGBT device.

A supply voltage for the first unit can be increased to compensate for voltage drops of the diode bridge on start-up prior to the synchronous operation.

The physical size of the assembly is all that changes in these applications; the basic construction of the bridge remains the same.

The stabilization circuits may be configured such that the impedance of the diode bridge network is substantially constant during all periods of operation.

A commercial power is rectified by a diode bridge and a capacitor and supplied via a terminal to a transformer.

If the entire group of the diode bridge is short, then further testing of each diode is carried out separately.

An improvement implemented by Jes is adding four high-speed BYV27 diodes to the ordinary diode bridge like this:
