Question 226Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is B) a three phase full wave rectifier. The illustration EL-0063 represents a three phase full wave rectifier circuit, which is commonly used in marine electrical systems to convert three-phase alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). In a three phase full wave rectifier, all three phases of the AC input are utilized, resulting in a smoother and more stable DC output compared to a single phase or half wave rectifier. The other options are incorrect because: A) A six phase half wave rectifier would have a different circuit configuration. C) A single phase full wave rectifier would only have two input phases, not three. D) A three phase half wave rectifier would not utilize all three phases of the AC input.
