Introduction of AC/DC Converters

AC/DC converters are a device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). They work on the principle of rectification, which works by suppressing the negative half of an AC waveform and allowing the positive spikes to pass through a device. Rectification is often done using four or more diodes. AC/DC converters are used in a variety of applications from computing and general electronic circuit elements to large power converters. In addition, AC/DC converters are used in several industrial applications, such as for solar energy, electric cars, electric motors, variable speed drives, and power conditioning.

BB-21-00111 Application Field and Working Principle

BB-21-00111 AC/DC converter is a device suitable for the conversion of AC to DC in a variety of applications. It is frequently used in AC to DC power conversion for solar and electric car charging applications. The converter is able to convert up to 1500VA of power with up to ~35 volts of input voltage, making it suitable for most AC to DC conversion applications. BB-21-00111 AC/DC converter functions by rectifying the incoming AC signal. Two full-wave rectifier diodes are used to convert the alternating current waveform into a pulsating DC signal. This pulsating signal is then smoothed by a large capacitor, which acts to store the energy and eliminates the sharp voltage spikes that could otherwise damage the device. This smooth DC signal is then available to be used for a variety of applications.

BB-21-00111 AC/DC converter is an efficient device suitable for a variety of AC to DC applications. It has very low power losses, as the two rectifier diodes switch quickly and do not waste energy. Furthermore, the large capacitors used to smooth the pulsating DC output reduce voltage spikes and help to prevent damage in the circuit components. The BB-21-00111 AC/DC converter provides reliable performance and is easy to install and use.
