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.


What kind of electricity does an alternator make DC or AC?

It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.


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.


What can change an ac current to a DC current?

rectifierac motor - dc generator set


What happens if an ac supply is given to dc generator?

AC supplies are not given to DC gennies. A DC gen requires a mechanical prime mover.

Is ac power produced first in a dc generator?

It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.


What energy is made by a generator?

Depending on the type of generator: Electricity in the form of direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) is produced.


Is dynamo an AC generator?

DC generator


Does a generator make ac or DC?

dc


Does a generator produce ac or DC voltage?

NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.


What form of electricity comes out of a Wave Generator?

It depends on how the generator is set up. Some will produce DC (Direct Current) and others will produce AC (Alternating Current). Where possible AC electricity will be produced as it runs through the grid without much loss of power.


How do you change over a ac motor to a dc generator?

Type your answer here... how can you change an ac motor to a dc generator


How do you convert a DC generator to ac alternator?

Turn the DC generator inside out and you have an alternator .

How you can store electric current which is produced from ac generator?

First ac has to be rectified into dc and then that could be stored in a secondary cell in the form of chemical energy.


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.
