How do you make an AC DC converter?
Steps
  • Select a transformer. A transformer contains 2 magnetically coupled wire windings.
  • Wire the primary winding of the transformer to the main AC supply. ...
  • Connect the secondary winding of the transformer to a full wave bridge rectifier package.
  • Attach a smoothing capacitor. ...
  • Provide the final regulation.

How does a DC power supply work?
Such power supplies will sometimes employ a transformer to convert the input voltage to a higher or lower AC voltage. A rectifier is used to convert the transformer output voltage to a varying DC voltage, which in turn is passed through an electronic filter to convert it to an unregulated DC voltage.

What is a full wave bridge rectifier?

A bridge rectifier is an arrangement of four or more diodes in a bridge circuit configuration which provides the same output polarity for either input polarity. It is used for converting an alternating current (AC) input into a direct current (DC) output.

  • Video description...
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known as rectification.
