Selenium rectifiers were extremely unreliable, I've not seen one for decades now - but back in the 70's I replaced loads and loads of them in TV's, record players, radios etc. All we used to use was a piece of tag strip, a BY127, and a 10W wirewound resistor (to give a similar source impedance to the selenium rectifier).

Re: Selenium rectifier replacement. usually Miller welders are 208-230-460 or 230-460-575. The manuals do not reflect this all the time. The welder data plate is the only way to tell what the primary voltage of a welder IS. Placement of the jumpers is different for both. For your out put voltage.

If the oscillator cut out before getting down to 90 vac input, the selenium would be replaced. ... I think that the environmental hazard from disposing of the occasional selenium rectifier in the waste stream is non-existant and its escape into the earth or groundwater would have more beneficial than harmful effects.

Selenium is also used in ...

GP49. Super Member. Nov 19, 2012. #3. Gadget73 is correct. The usual failure mode of selenium rectifiers is high-resistance. There is an application where this failure mode can be hazardous: where a selenium rectifier is used to produce the negative DC voltage for biasing the grids of a fixed-bias tube output stage.

SELENIUM RECTIFIER REPLACEMENT: Slow gripper motor. and/or rotation of ferris wheel -check for 24VDC at the motor when the motor is running, it should be no less than 24V. If it is then check the bridge rectifier in the transformer/fuse box, if it is a Selenium Rectifier (a series of metal plates on a central shaft with three or four lugs …

I have already taken the 2 spade terminals from the selenium rectifiers and connected them to the bridge rectifier A/C terminals and the wire from the selenium rectifier aluminum plate to the bridge rectifier (-) terminal and it charges 10-11 amps while quickly climbing up to 14.8v according to my Fluke 88 DVOM. My idea is as stated earlier.

The selenium rectifier's electrical characteristics, long life, light weight, availability, and potential for improvement have given it a meteoric rise since its introduction and at the present time it occupies the number one position in popularity and demand. Production ... the power factor is usually 90 to 95% or better.

About selenium rectifiers, it is easy to calculate the value of voltage dropping resistor, simply by Ohms law. I = E/R (europians are using U symbol instead of E for voltage). So if you need to drop 25 volts and …

SELENIUM POWER RECTIFIERS. A selenium rectifier is an electronic component that permits free passage of electric current in one direction, but almost completely blocks the flow of current in the opposite direction. Like a silicon diode, when an alternating current is applied to a selenium rectifier in series with the load, half of the AC cycle ...

SY said: One side of the selenium rectifier will be marked with a plus (+). The new rectifier will replace the old one, but the striped end goes to where the + end of the …

The positive connection from the selenium rectifier is connected to one side of the 125 V power transformer output and the negative side of the rectifier is connected to a voltage divider and onto the rest of the circuit. The other side of the transformer connects to ground. I measure 113 volts at the output of the selenium rectifier connected ...

Features of the 6v Regulator/Rectifier: Upgrades the charging system on very early rectifier-only models by simultaneously regulating and rectifying the total stator output.

during this test. forward/back resistance with a basic ohm meter should be around 100:1 or. better as I recall, and you might have to use a resistance bridge of. some kind (or other measuring circuit) with a voltage potential of. several volts …

The efficiency of conversion in selenium rectifiers is relatively high, usually on the order of 90 per-cent in three-phase, full-wave circuits and 70 per-cent in single-phase, full-wave circuits. ... the threshold voltage in a selenium rectifier will vary between approximately 0.25 volt at high temperatures and 0.6 volt at low temperatures ...

The "forward" drop of a selenium rectifier is based on two things, the number of plates, but more importantly the current through it. due to the actual resistance of the diodes. The easiest method is to just put an additional 50 ohms or so in. series with the silicon diodes and them measure the resulting B+.

ter to convert the selenium rectifier to sili-con, and keep its form factor. An examination of the 57-1 rectifier shows it is held together with a spring clip and easily dis-assembled into a phenolic housing, two pheno-lic end plates, two terminal end plates and a stack of selenium-coated plates (figure 3). The selenium plates were wrapped and dis-

Jul 21, 2015. #10. Selenium and germanium bridge rectifiers have the same configuration. The +ve (centre) will have a red dot –ve (the two ends linked) a black dot. AC in is via the two connections at ¼ marked with a green dot. If your thinking of a straight swap with a modern silicon bridge package, be careful.

The old bridge rectifier is selenium and could fail at any time. I replaced these with a large 1000 PIV, 10 amp silicon bridge rectifier. ... With a better antenna, the tuner picked up even more signals, including the elusive WUOL at 90.5 MHz, which can normally only be received this far away from Louisville on car radios. Mind you, WUOL …

Without getting deep into theory, the selenium rectifier is nothing more than a diode, or, to put it simply, it's an electrical one-way valve. Current will only flow one direction through it. The output from the stator is alternating - a sine wave that goes positive, then negative, then positive, then, . . . well, you get the idea. ...
