In most circumstances a full wave diode bridge is used to convert AC into DC. Along with inductors and capacitors used as filters, the DC ripple is smoothed out to a very stable DC voltage. This is the method used in DC power supplies.

To convert from DC to AC an inverter is used. Today most inverters use the modified sine wave method which brings the sine wave closer to a AC generated sine wave. Older inverters used an on - off switching procedure to generate a square sine wave. Modern electronics do not work well with square wave generation.

How do you make ac into DC in a ac transformer?

You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater

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.


Why isn't there a DC transfromer?

An AC transformer works by changing the magnetic field going through a coil. The change is unavailable in the case of DC. It is possible to convert DC to AC (with an inverter) and then change the AC voltage to another value and rectify it to get DC at a different voltage.
