Just buy a DC power supply that has the input supplied by 120 VAC and a DC output with required voltage and amperage.

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which is in only one direction, a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers may be made of solid state diodes, vacuum tube diodes, Mercury arc valves, and other components.

How you convert DC TO ac?

we can convert a dc supply to an ac supply using inverters. Its a common operation which we observe in our daily lives dc can be converted to Ac using an undulator.


How you convert a power supply into 12v DC?

DC 12V power supply can convert 110/220V AC power source to 12V DC.


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.


How do you convert ac generator to dc generator?

Such conversions are often inefficient and/or expensive. It requires an external power supply or battery charger to convert AC into DC.


How can a radio use both DC and AC?

Radios use DC power supplies to operate. If a radio is powered from a mains AC supply, a power supply circuit will convert the AC supply to DC. Therefore, a radio may have both a DC and an AC power input but ultimately, the internal circuitry will always use DC.


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.

A resistor, by itself, can not convert DC into AC.


Where is a full wave brigde rectifier used?

Typically to convert AC to DC as part of a power supply.


How ac change to DC?

by the use of inverter we can convert ac to dc.


What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?

A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.


How can an ac generator be converted to DC generator?

It may not be possible to physically convert AC generator to DC generator. What can be done is that 'Rectifier' of suitable capacity can be connected to the out put of AC generator to get DC supply.
