20. Diode Bridge #2
Diode bridges are used to rectify voltage wave patterns. In this case, the
input voltage is the three phase AC voltage RST. In order for this voltage
to be useful to the PTM, it must first be converted to a DC voltage
pattern. The diode bridge #2 further rectifies the voltage out of the
Thyristor into DC voltage, which is then sent to the power transistor
module.
