Rectifier

A rectifier comprising:

• a rectifier circuit including a plurality of diodes, the rectifier circuit being configured to generate a direct-current component upon input of a wave to be rectified;
• a plurality of line members connected to the rectifier circuit, wherein
• the plurality of diodes includes
• a first diode having an anode connected to an input side of the rectifier circuit and a cathode connected to an output side of the rectifier circuit,
• a second diode having a cathode connected to the input side of the rectifier circuit and an anode connected to the output side of the rectifier circuit,
• a third diode having an anode connected to the input side of the rectifier circuit and a cathode connected to the output side of the rectifier circuit, and
• a fourth diode having a cathode connected to the input side of the rectifier circuit and an anode connected to the output side of the rectifier circuit,
• each of the plurality of line members is an even-order short-circuit member to have an impedance of zero at at least one of even-order harmonics of the wave to be rectified and smooth output of the rectifier circuit, and
• the plurality of line members includes
• a first member having one end connected to the cathode of the first diode and the other end being open,
• a second member having one end connected to the anode of the second diode and the other end being open,
• a third member having one end connected to the cathode of the third diode and the other end being open, and
• a fourth member having one end connected to the anode of the fourth diode and the other end being open.
