rectifier tr. is converting ac energy into dc energy. but power transformer converting step up or step down ac energy without changing frequency.
Answer
A transformer and a rectifier are two completely-different devices. A transformer changes voltage levels, whereas a rectifier changes alternating current to direct current.
There is no such thing as a 'rectifier transformer', although it is common for the output of a transformer to be rectified. Such combinations are widely-used in electronic components, where the mains supply must be changed to a low-voltage d.c. supply.
The term, 'power transformer' is normally applied to step-up and step-down Transformers used in the high-voltage electricity transmission system, as opposed to those used in the electricity distribution system, which are normally called 'distribution transformers'.

How a rectifier transformer deffer from a power transformer?
rectifier transformer converts acinto dc.but,power transformer convert step up or step down ac energy without changing frequency
4 What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifier Which are found in a PC power supply?
A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current. A transformer is a device that changes the ratio fo current to voltage. A rectifier is found in a PC power supply.
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifier Which are found in a PC power supply?
A transformer is a device that changes the level of an a.c. voltage, while a rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current.
Which is found in a PC power supply Transformer or rectifier?
A rectifier is a device that converts AC to DC.A transformer is a device that changes the ratio of current to voltage.A computer power supply functions as both.Answer found in CompTIA A+ Guide to Managing and maintaining Your PC 6th edition on page 154.
What is the purpose of the transformer in the half-wave rectifier circuit?
what is the function of transformer in the half wave rectifier circuit
Is a transformer used in full wave rectifier?
A full wave rectifier is a component or set of components that change AC waveforms into DC. It is frequently used as part of a power supply circuit and therefore it is often directly adjacent to a transformer. However, a transformer is used to provide a suitable AC voltage and is not part of the rectifier.
What is TUF for half wave rectifier?
It indicate how well the input transformer is being utilized. It is given by the ratio of DC output power to the AC power rating of Transformer.
What is the use of transformer utilisation factor?
It tells us how much is the transformer utilised in a given process. For a rectifier,TUF =(D.c.power delivered to the load)/(power rating of transformer secondary)
How are is a transformer and a rectifier different?
A transformer changes the VOLTAGE of AC current (AC to AC). A rectifier changes AC to DC.
Can the two end of a center tap transformer be use with out a rectifier?
The twoends of a center tap transformer cannot be used without a rectifier.
Does a transformer contains capacitor?
A transformer does not normally contain a capacitor. However, you might be thinking of a 'd.c. power supply', which consists of a transformer, rectifier, and smoothing circuits. The smoothing circuits will contain capacitors.
Is transformer is essential for rectifier?
no transformer is not necessary for rectification today most of power supplies have been made without using transformer in order to reduce weight and size of power supply.for example SMPS(switch mode poqwer supply)
