  • How to convert AC to DC.
    In the modern era, almost every household electronics works on Direct Current (DC) but we get Alternating Current (AC) from power generation plants via transmission lines because AC can be transmitted more efficiently than DC in lower cost. So every appliance which works on DC has and AC to DC converter circuit.
    In this video, we will discuss traditional Transformer based design which use simple diodes and capacitor to convert the Alternating current into Direct Current and an optional voltage regulator to regulate the output DC voltage. The project will be an AC-DC converter using Transformer with an input voltage of 230V and output of 12V.

      Why are we using a bridge diode? In converting ac to dc

    • @thanlinlungsimon6120
      @thanlinlungsimon6120 Před 2 lety +3

      In AC, both the lines comes with positive and negative alternatively (mixed) so we use diode rectifier to collect only positive charge to the positive line and to collect only the negative to the negative. Thus we get a pure dc wave.

      How about the inductor to better smooth the ripple and control fast-peak current?
      Give me a hint, I want to create a full-wave rectifier diode bridge and build-in into the wall socket (I have already all i needed), ~230AC --> ⎓230DC separate high-voltage DC (maximum smoothed ripple) for convenience and special purposes, of course, for local protection from the main household wiring - 50Amp fusible ceramic fuse...
      To be clear - I'm not a noob, and i know what to do, electronics has been my passion for many years.
      So, what do you think about this - the optimal values of capacitors(many people recommend using 3 different capacitors - 1 main large-value and 2 smaller);
      Polarized or variable capacitor; ceramic, metalized polyester film or aluminum electrolytic?;
      Inductance coil: - type and inductance value;
      Necessary or needless - transformer with an insulating coil ~230-230v for galvanic isolation(more safety)?
