The AC current is fed into a rectifier, which is a set of four diodes that force the current at the output to be one direction.

A capacitor across the rectifier output is then used to smooth out the voltage to a level higher than the desired DC output (eliminating, for example, the zero-voltage portions of the original AC sine-wave)

A voltage regulator then regulates the voltage to a constant level.

Is there DC alternator?

An alternator is a device that converts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). If you need to convert AC to DC, then you need a rectifier.

How can you convert a DC generator into an ac generator?

Converting D/C into A/C is very expensive. You can use inverters to switch the direction of the current but you would probably be better off to replace your DC generator with an AC generator and if you need both AC and DC power then use a rectifier (inexpensive when compared to inverters) to convert the AC to a DC current.

How does a device convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC)?

A device called an inverter is used to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The inverter switches the direction of the current flow at a rapid rate, creating an alternating current output from the direct current input.


Is their any other difference between ac and dc current?

Yes, there is. AC = Alternating Current, the direction of the current alternates, thus the name. DC = Direct Current. Things like computers need DC (they use a AC to DC converter inside the power supply to convert it) Hope that helps a bit.


Battery ac or DC?

Batteries can provide both AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power, depending on the type of device they are connected to. However, most batteries themselves supply DC power. Devices that require AC power typically use an inverter to convert the battery's DC power into AC power.


What is the definition of AC-DC converter?

AC-DC converter such as a convertor by which we can convert alternative currents into direct current & its vice-versa. ...... anil allahabadi
