How to change alternating current to direct current? How to do it??

Question

Hello, I have a small problem, I want to change alternating current into direct current and I don`t know how to do it, please help ;]

Preskaler · Answer

Well, there is not enough information to provide a comprehensive answer! Direct current can be obtained from alternating current using a rectifier and a filter system, but it all depends on the voltage value, current consumption and the permissible ripple factor.

Spitor · Answer

Hello Use diodes or a rectifier bridge Greetings

Grzesto · Answer

Rectifier diode - half-wave rectifier, Greatz bridge - full-wave rectifier, etc.... the simplest systems are described in the basics of electrical engineering. I invite you to read it, also - Google, or . Regards

Preskaler · Answer

Yes! Only in this case it will not be direct current but unidirectional! Unless this is what Kamilek5_4 is talking about.

Variable current --> Rectifier bridge --> capacitor --> Constant current

cackoarek · Answer

Well, the appropriate selection of elements depends on specific cases... we need more information

przemo.t · Answer

Hmm....
Is it alternating current or alternating current? An alternating current is one that changes its intensity as a function of time, and everyone describes a solution to "straighten" an alternating current.

Since these concepts are often confused, could you describe exactly what it means, my friend?
Maybe the solutions are good and the question is confusing :)

Regards :P

PS: maybe I`m just nitpicking? ;p

Preskaler · Answer

Well, in principle, yes, but in colloquial speech the term alternating current is used and the term alternating current is thought of. I use this term (colloquially) and define variable as one-way (like a street). A constant is, of course, also unidirectional, but without a variable component or this component has a very small amplitude. Similarly, the term heaven is used to refer to clouds or a cloud-free space above our heads in an open space, and heaven in the sense of paradise where good Catholics will go (well, not after death, but...) after the Last Judgment . There are many terms that are used more or less incorrectly and additional terms are needed to avoid mistakes.

przemo.t · Answer

Heheh, yes, I know that`s what they say colloquially

I use this phrase myself. However, I think that with such basic questions as about the rectifier bridge, the questioner can be misled. :)

My friend kamilek, as my "previous speakers" wrote, 4 rectifier diodes and a capacitor (if, of course, it is about "rectifying an alternating current (such as the one in the 230V network)) :D

Your alternating current is alternating . You wrote well, but you drew badly. For it to be truly variable, it should flow in one direction all the time, changing only the voltage/current if you prefer.

menek · Answer

I disagree with the statement above. The fact that the current is alternating does not mean that it must flow in one direction. Alternating current is also an alternating current (periodic), and it has both positive and negative values.

Preskaler · Answer

But it happened!
Maybe it`s better to write like this?
All alternating current is alternating current, but not all alternating current is alternating current.
The discussion has developed, but nothing new has been added to the matter because "Kamilwk5_4" is silent and does not want (or cannot) provide information. So let me make one more attempt to get the "question" out of the question: why does it need this current? You need to know what the current consumption, voltage and permissible ripple will be? And is it about a specific diagram (with element values) or just theoretical answers? The latter has already happened, so maybe he doesn`t want to know anything more?

cackoarek · Answer

Such actions sometimes annoy me. People try to help someone, they write, they devote their time and what happens? Someone is blowing you off!! sad but true. But at least based on the example of this discussion, sometimes we can help ourselves explain something... maybe it`s the details that someone is picking on, but it`s better than nothing, at least we`re going back to the roots of electronics (which we sometimes forget). For example, it hurts me when someone writes tension is flowing... well, I can`t ignore something like that... too many F`s have happened to me in the past for something like that

przemo.t · Answer

Maybe a little off topic, but whatever, the guy who asked the topic still ignores the matter

And my friend, we have the same "problem", I will never forget how I got a good shot from a physics teacher (primary school) when I said that there was "alternating current" in the socket.

. Some things you never forget, such a "childhood" trauma :D

Regards

Preskaler · Answer

She was some kind of perverted sadist! Tension cannot flow even though everything flows! As Mr. Tarei said! (Panta rei)

cackoarek · Answer

Well, I saw it recently, even in the topic... it immediately reminded me of my technical school days... it was a trauma!!

hotek · Answer

Listen, I have a question... How to turn 60V alternating current into direct current. And how to make a rectifier bridge exactly...

Balu · Answer

Tell us where you got the 60V and what you want to power it with. And learn to read with understanding.

Arnold_S. · Answer

Yes Sir. And learn to use the search option and Google (enter rectifier bridge and a miracle will happen).

Preskaler · Answer

If you want to make 60V AC - DC, use a bridge or a single diode and capacitor (to reduce ripple). The capacitor must be rated at (at least) 100V because the constant voltage (without load will be approximately 90V!) The capacity of the capacitor (and possibly other elements) depends on the current consumed (size) and possible permissible ripples.
