AC stands Alternating Current, a type of electricity that changes constantly from one polarity to another(like what you get from the wall outlets). DC stands for Direct Current, a type of electricity that maintains its polarity all the time(like what you get from a battery). AN AC/DC converter is something that turns outlet-type electricity into battery type electricity.
RECTIFIER s can convert ac to dc.the different types of rectifiers are halfwave,full wave,bridge rectifier.by connecting capactor to all of the above mentioned ckts efficiency can be enhanced.

∙ 10y agoThe purpose of a DC to DC converter is to convert one voltage from one end to another voltage at the other end, thus an user can have the option to use another voltage also. DC stands for direct current.

Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?
A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.
What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
Why transformer action can take place in DC circuit?
Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.
Can booster transformer be used in dc distribution system?
No. Transformers work in AC systems, not in DC systems.
How does auto transformer work with DC supply?
Transformers don't work with DC supplies - they only work on AC.
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

If DC is applied to the primary of a transformer is there any current in the secondary and if there is then whether ac or DC?
first, understand that a transformer is an AC DEVICE. it wont work on dc...
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 transformer operate on triangular wave DC?
If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.
What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
How do you increase voltage 5v-12v?
AC or DC? AC - use a transformer, DC - forget it - not simple or cheap.

What is a flyback inverter?
fly back inverter is such kind of DC-AC inverters which use the flyback transformer for the low dc-high dc stage of the inveter shortly it's DC to AC inverter with flyback transformer inside .
Why transformer do not operate with DC?
Transformer works with varying flux. DC won't create it. Only AC produce varying flux.

Does a transformer convert AC to DC?
No, a transformer does not change AC to DC. For this purpose there is a device known as a rectifier, and to transform it back to AC from DC you'll need an inverter. Transformers are only useful with AC due to the alternating waveform which induces a voltage in the secondary winding (when it is connected to a load).
