Neptune BRIDGEREC - Bridge Rectifier
The Neptune BRIDGEREC is a bridge rectifier used to convert Alternating Current to Direct Current. It is commonly installed where electric strikes, drop bolts or locking devices require Direct Current operation.
Some locking devices do not operate correctly on Alternating Current and may buzz, overheat or perform inconsistently. A bridge rectifier allows conversion from Alternating Current supply to Direct Current output.
Key Features
- Converts Alternating Current input to Direct Current output.
- Maximum average rectified current 1.5 Amp.
- Peak inverse voltage 400 Volt.
- Peak forward surge current 30 Amp at 8.3 milliseconds.
- Suitable for access control power conversion applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this be used with any electric strike?
It is suitable where an electric strike requires Direct Current but the supply is Alternating Current. Always confirm voltage and current requirements of the strike. - Does this regulate voltage?
No. It converts Alternating Current to Direct Current but does not regulate or stabilise voltage. - What is a common installation mistake?
Incorrect wiring of Alternating Current and Direct Current terminals can damage the rectifier or locking device.
Additional Information
- Commonly installed in Australian access control retrofits where existing Alternating Current transformers are retained.
- Does not include smoothing capacitors, output may still have ripple.
- Ensure enclosure protection where installed in exposed environments.
