Full-Wave Rectified Current

Full-wave rectified current pulses, with no gaps, similar to DC. FWRC provides the most efficient conversion of A.C. power to D.C. With this current form the negative half cycle of an A.C. waveform is removed from below the zero line and reversed to make all values positive (or vice versa).
