They can. Low end inverters often use a square wave output, instead of a sine wave output. This causes harmonic distortion that can sometimes damage equipment. One of the damage mechanisms is the simple rectifier - when the diode conducts and recharges the filter capacitor in a power supply, if the slope of the step change is vertical, as it would be with a square wave, the instantaneous current through the diode and capacitor tries to be infinite, and that can damage the diode or capacitor.

What are the uses of ac DC converter?
You can power your DC toys with the AC power plugs in the house. Like a Radio without using batteries.
Can i wire a 7.2 volt motor up to a 18 volt battery will it just burn the motor out?
you can but if you do, you will/might: A) kill the motor,B)overload your 18 volt power supply, and C) maybe short a breaker if your power supply is also an ac to dc converter
When using electronics what device is capable of changing DC to AC?
A device called a power inverter.In old vacuum tube radios an electromechanical device called a vibrator was used.Another device is a motor-generator using a DC motor and an AC generator.
What is the difference between a voltage converter and a voltage inverter?
Converter is AC to DC. Inverter is DC to AC
What type of devices would a voltage converter be used for?
Any type of device that would need to be converted from AC to DC power would use a voltage converter. Devices such as televisions, monitors, and other electronic devices could use a voltage converter.
What is the cost for an AC to DC power converter?
The cost for an AC to DC power converter is usually around $15-$20. You can purchase an AC to DC Power converter online at the Amazon website. Once on the page, type "AC to DC Power Converter" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the products.
What are rotary converters?
A rotary converter is a mechanical rectifier. A rotery converter is ment to convert AC power to DC power or DC to AC.
Is a converter considered ac out put volts?
is an 120 volt ac converter that we are using for 12 volts considered AC output power.
What are the uses of ac DC converter?
You can power your DC toys with the AC power plugs in the house. Like a Radio without using batteries.
The power converter is used for what purpose?
The power converter is used to change direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). This AC is set to the required voltage and frequency for your computer. Overall, the converter is necessary to provide the appropriate amount of power to your computer, as too much or too little could result in unreliable performance or system instability.
What is the difference between diode and converter?
Diode: Which allows power in one direction or which converts AC to dc . Converter: Which converts DC to DC
Do cordless power tools have as much power as traditional power tools?
Traditional power tools will have much more power than any cordless tool will have.
Can i wire a 7.2 volt motor up to a 18 volt battery will it just burn the motor out?
you can but if you do, you will/might: A) kill the motor,B)overload your 18 volt power supply, and C) maybe short a breaker if your power supply is also an ac to dc converter
Can you charge your laptop from your cars power outlet?
Use DC to AC converter for car power outlet and then plug in your AC charger to the converter. I am use this method since 2 years, working fine but faced some problems like once burning car power outlet and weaken the car battery.
What are the roles of a diode and a capacitor in an AC-DC converter?
An AC-DC converter you can operate a device on AC instead of batteries. ~bobbyjack~ : D
How do you build a dc to dc converter?
A DC to DC converter is basically a type of switching power supply. The switcher converts the input DC to AC. A transformer is used to convert the AC to the desired voltage. A rectifier, filter, and optional regulator is used to convert the AC back to DC.
What is the difference between rectifier and converter?
A rectifier converts AC voltage into DC voltage. A converter is something more general. It describes not only rectifiers, but also devices that can turn DC into AC or perform DC-to-DC or AC-to-AC conversion.
