A bridge rectifier is an electrical component that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). It consists of four diodes arranged in a specific configuration, allowing effective conduction and rectification during both half-cycles of the current. As an essential component in electronic circuits, ATO industrial automation will now explain its working principle.

Equipotential refers to a condition where all points within a given space or system share the same potential. In simpler terms, it means that there is no difference in electrical potential between these points thus there is no voltage. This absence of voltage allows for no current flow due to the presence of resistance.
