You probably mean "... where there should be a DC output ?",

and the answer is "No. They don't work in reverse.".

Introduction of DC to ac inverter?

A DC to AC inverter takes a DC voltage input to a AC voltage output. So if you have a 12v battery and need to run a 120v AC tool or something. All you need to do is plug a inverter to your battery and plug your 120v tool the the inverter. Takes all there is too it.


How thyristor used in induction furnace?

Thyristor is used for Rectifiying and inverting the power supply in induction furnace. The parallel Resonance Coils (Current Control Furnaces) Control the Furance power up to 40% by controlling the firing angle of the rectifier inverter and remaining 60% controlled by inverter thyristor control. In rectifier they are varying the thyristor firing angle from 15 deg to 45 deg. (in sin wave)


What is the use of a transformer in a rectifier?

Generally, the rectified voltage (DC Voltage) is less than the supply voltage (230 VAC or 110 VAC). Therefore, there is a need to step down the mains voltage to the required value before rectification. AC Voltage is denoted by the Root Mean Square (RMS) value which is equal to the peak voltage of the sine wave divided by 1.4 (square root of 2). Therefore, the out put of a full wave rectifier with a smoothening filter (say, a condenser) will be about 1.4 times the RMS value of AC Voltage. For eg. if we need 12 VDC output from the rectifier, the AC Voltage output of the transformer (which will be the input to the rectifier) should be 12/1.4 ie. 8.6 V. However, since a stabilized DC power supply will usually have some kind of a voltage stabilizer, the output of the rectifier can be higher. Therefore, the transformer output can be 12 volts RMS in this case. The DC output will be roughly 12 x 1.4 = 16.8 V and the stabilized DC voltage can be maintained at 12 V DC irrespective of small fluctuations in the AC mains voltage.


Why would an inverter overload a circuit?

The only way an Inverter could overload a circuit would be on the supply side. The fusing/protection for the inverter is incorrect.

It should be the rms value of your supply.


What is the device which works both as rectifier and inverter?

The only one I can think of is known as an "Uninterruptable Power Supply" or U.P.S. for short. Usually connected to computers or to other equipment where they provide D.C. or direct current output from A.C. ( alternating current ) mains. Inside there are one or more batteries that are charged when the mains are on. The rectifier side creates the direct current. When the mains fails the inverter side of things may take the power from the battery, creating an a.c. supply which could be used by the rectifier side for the output. Although I'm an electrician, I've never taken one apart to have a look or even seen the circuit diagram for one so I would not take this as a 100% accurate answer.


How do rectifiers and transformers work in a PC power supply?

There is no transformer used in PC power supply. There is rectifier used to rectify or convert AC input voltage into DC output voltage.Transformer based rectifier produces some spikes at the output DC voltage, hencethey uses SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) to avoid spikes to the output DC voltage and get a smooth DC voltage.


What is the difference between rectifier and inverter type welding machine?

A welding rectifier is a m/c which converts A.C. supply to D.C.supply. Rectifiers are used for heavy welding work. An invertor is a welding m/c which converts A.C. supply to D.C.supply and then again converts D.C. to A.C. The wt. of invertor welding m/c is less than a welding transformer.


How an inverter is connected to supply?

it should be connected to a breaker in the distribution panel.


Why the output wave shape of the rectifier is disorted at high frequency supply?

A: A rectifier is simply a diode or is it? At hi frequency the storage time or the disconnect time becomes significant that is why it looks distorted to the scope


What is the difference between a rectifier and an lcd inverter?

It's really simple. A rectifier is an electronic device that converts AC (alternating current) to DC(direct current). It does so by using an arrangement of electronic components named a diode.An inverter is just the opposite of a rectifier. Meaning it coverts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) and that's just it. The process of how it's done is the same as for a rectifier, but just the diodes are arranged differently.An example of a rectifier device is the power supply inside your desktop computer. Inverters are usually found inside an LCD monitor.


What is use of sink and source in variable frequency drive?

The inverter is mainly composed of rectifier, filter, inverter, brake unit, drive unit, detection unit and microprocessor unit. The inverter relies on the opening and closing of the internal IGBT to adjust the voltage and frequency of the output power supply, providing the power supply voltage required by the motor according to its actual needs, thus achieving the purpose of energy saving and speed regulation. If you want to buy an inverter, you can go to the KUVO website, which is popular for its high quality.

How do you determine the size of acapacitor in a rectifier circuit?

ANSWER In rectifiers for power supplies, the capacitor size is determined by the allowable ripple on the output. This can be determined by the rate at which the capacitor is drained. Specifically, this rate is the current drawn from the capacitor. Assume a half wave rectifier made from four diodes. For part of the cycle, the output current is supplied by the rectifier diode. This is also when the capacitor is charged. While the rectifier is not supplying current -- when the input waveform has dropped below the output voltage -- the capacitor must supply the current. Then, as the input waveform rises above the capacitor voltage, the rectifier supplies the current to charge the capacitor and the output circuit.


What does the power intverter in a power supply do?

The primary function of the power inverter in a power supply is to change the direct current (DC) to the alternating current (AC). The design of the power inverter is dependent on the input voltage, output voltage and frequency, meaning that the inverter could be solely electronic or may have a combination of electronic circuits and mechanical effects.
