A rectifier, typically called a diode. It stops reverse current flow and only allows current to flow in one direction. 4 diodes are used for what is called "Full wave rectification". Along with a capacitor and a choke (or coil), almost pure DC can be achieved.

In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?

The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.


How do you convert a DC to AC inverter into a grid tie inverter?

A grid DC tie is where AC is converted into DC, which is then converted to AC again on the other side. If you have a DC to AC transformer setup, you'd need to add a second one going the "other" way for a full DC tie station.

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.


Can an AC water heater be converted to operate on DC current?

An AC water heater can be converted to operate on DC current but the cost will be large. In the electrical trade anything can be done if enough money is spent to get the results that are requested.
