Joshua Vandervoort | Rectification at Source
The principle of rectification at source recognizes that preventing
environmental damage at its source is most cost-effective rather than dealing
with its after effects. This is particularly pertinent in cases of pollution
where prevention is far more cost-effective than remediation action. SEA
processes provide an opportunity to demonstrate this principle by including
mitigation measures in projects at the design stage.
Socially speaking, rectification can mean making something right or
correcting an error. At the same time, engineering and physics refer to
changing AC into direct current (DC), which is most often accomplished using
diodes or similar devices.
Half-wave rectifiers consist of diodes that permit current to pass
through during the positive half of an input waveform while blocking current in
its negative half. A full-wave rectifier inverts this diode polarity to take
advantage of both halves, providing more efficient circuits that require
smaller filter capacitors.

Rochester New York conveys that adding a voltage
regulator with a Zener diode and a current-limiting resistor can also help
minimize output ripple. This approach may benefit applications where DC output
voltage must remain steady under heavy loads.
