Abstract
A Graëtz-bridge converter-rectifier in which at least one rectifier arm situated between a single AC terminal and a single DC terminal includes multiple unidirectional electronic components connected in parallel and connected on one side to the DC terminal by means of a conductive component set and on the other side to the AC terminal. The invention is characterized in that the component set for at least one rectifier arm includes a plurality of separate component busbars each having at least one end connected to the DC terminal, the unidirectional components being divided between the component busbars into as many component sets connected in parallel as there are component busbars.
