Waveforms for a typical 3-phase half-wave and full-wave <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/rectifier" class="extiw" title="w:rectifier">rectifiers</a>. The top plot shows the individual three phase signals, the middle plot shows the half-wave rectifier output in solid curve and the bottom plot shows the full-wave rectifier output in solid curve. The 'T' in time is the time period of individual signals and <strong class="error texerror">Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "http://localhost:6011/commons.wikimedia.org/v1/":): \scriptstyle V_{{\mathrm  {peak}}}</strong>
 is the amplitude of each of the three input signals.
