Abstract
A three-phase bridge rectifier system is proposed, having three rectifier paths, in which two rectifier elements at a time are in series, each rectifier path between the rectifier elements being connectible to one of three leads of a three-phase current terminal; the three cathode terminals of the rectifier elements lying opposite the three-phase current connection are connected to an positive pole, and the three anode terminals of the rectifier elements lying opposite the three-phase current connection are connected to a negative pole; at least three of the rectifier elements being formed by two-pole semiconductor rectifiers having at least two series-connected p-n junctions. The system is used for making available a volt motor vehicle electrical system having assured reliable voltage limitation.
