How to Convert AC to DC?

In this video, I will show you the basic working principle of traditional chargers or power supplies that we use in daily life. At the end of this video, you will have learned what stages the AC to DC conversion process of power supplies consists of and how it takes place.
The stages of converting AC to DC, as here, consist of first reducing the voltage with the help of a transformer, then rectification, filtering and finally regulation. The conversion process I will show here will be based on the example of converting 220V AC to 5V DC, which is used in many countries around the world. Since the conversion process is logically the same, you can make calculations according to the voltage value in your country if you wish. Now let's examine in detail what the shape of the voltage is after each step and what the circuit diagram looks like.

😭 who knew it could be explained so simply . Thank you

[@eeapplications]

Thank you so much. Glad if it was helpful 😊

its comments like this that are very concerning in todays day 40 years ago if you made this comment someone would have said "What ??????" its funny how what was basics when i was 5 is now getting the highest commendations. i'm not bagging you or the creator, i'm just saying the bar shouldn't be set this low

[@mach1553]

In less than 5 minutes you explained this circuit better than anyone else - Thank you!

[@yeagle1903]

Your videos are great. Congratulations. Thanks 👏

[@littlelogie]

What about the ampere output?

[@nicolaebogles9943]

Congratulations! I want to see Inverter 12v to 230v/50Hz. Thank You!

[@Conenion]

Unfortunately this is waaay more complex.

[@basketballplayer51]

great video thanks a lot

[@eeapplications]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Steels123]

Hola, thanks for the video. Got few questions: 1) voltage regulator- can it be replaced by transistor to amplifie? but then we need a second source, stronger, ahh i am confused. 2) do i understand correctly, from + wire comes higher current, and voltage regulater reduces current and unnecessary current goes straight to - while the current we need continues to go +? also, if so, then does it mean that unnecessary current, if it goes to - wire, then follows condensator and it goes to diode, there current gets smoother and smoother and it goes back to +? not an electrician. sorry. thanks for response.

Learning would not have been so much pleasure than this.

Appreciate your Effort. Thank you 👍🏻

its confusing b/c how the transformer comes first before rectifier open and see on any charger a transformer comes after rectifier.

[@techrama9642]

You are talking About Switching DC power supply. Where transformer used after rectification. This design is Linear DC supply which can handle 2amp or 10 Watt load maximum. And used for Singal Devices like radio, amplifier and other sound and signal receiving and generating devices because it doesn't produce any noise. Where Switching DC supply is noisey but handles much more load than above circuits. Linear efficiency is 60%. when you touch those MOSFET under load you can feel how hot they are. But in Switching circuit efficiency is 80% and barely heats.

[@frankzaragosa93]

I like to add blower for that circuit where do i put the blower connection

[@hadeel6067]

OMGG ur the bestttt

[@eeapplications]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@russcole5685]

I have 16Vac powering my DCC train set, using a full bridge to convert track power to drive led's, I some how got 16V DC out. When I was expecting to only get 8Vdc. Is there something I'm missing because of the source power being a digital 16Vac signal/power source

[@Happynessvibe]

Please Do on MOV(metal oxide varistor) component

[@joshuacamacho6616]

Simple but accurate, thanks for the info 🤗

[@khel_dekho]

How many amps does it provides

[@irmafezeu4239]

Not much I believe since the voltage regulator used is limited to 1A

[@Great.Daniel]

Amazing!!!

[@raphaelaliev1039]

What is the reason to rectify and then make the current alternate through invertor ?

[@eeapplications]

For example, UPS's can be given as an example. It is converted to DC when there is electricity and stored in the batteries inside. Then, when there is a power outage, it is inverted back to AC and used.

[@zarrir]

i see the capacitor long leg (positive) connected to the negative side of the bridge. Is that correct?

[@eeapplications]

No. Don't let the shape fool you. Of course, the long pin will be on the positive (+) part.

[@keertihegde7547]

Thank you ❤

[@Lakeman-fb6vl]

Thanks…. BUT…. How can I calculate, capacitor and Voltage regulator.?

[@eeapplications]

Hi, thank you. Our next video is about capacitor calculation. I recommend you look at it.

[@rd1199]

how to design, out a capacitor value? Thank

[@UwinKyaw-fn5sk]

thanks❤

[@user-db7wo1zf2w]

AC (low frequency) to DC to AC (high frequency) to DC , that project will be better.

[@user-st7qg6vk8d]

How do you wake up a pc

[@motorsport4311]

Can someone explains to me how AC and DC works and what the different.??😅

[@kenmiles32]

@motorsport4311 In an AC there is a forward and backward movement of current.To test this take your phone and shoot a slow mo video on a light bulb in your house. Now in a DC there won't be a backward movement of current it is always forward.For more info check out AC vs DC

[@deang5622]

Let's get the terminology right shall we? It is not a filter circuit. The capacitor is not being used as a filter Filtering, supply decoupling, blocking, smoothing are all different applications of capacitors. The particular application here is smoothing not filtering.

[@TheOzthewiz]

The cap IS filtering the 120cycle AC component (ripple) from the "pulsating DC" output of the bridge.

[@Conenion]

It is a filter. Think of a low pass with R and C in series whilst R = 0 Ohms.

[@VladFredK]

okay Mr electronics, maybe you can shine now and tell me why rectifiers have about 1/3 of AC voltage in still coming out ? Example - 120 volts coming IN to the rectifier will have 44 volts AC still coming OUT

[@kenmiles32]

There could be several reasons. A transformer suffers energy losses one of them could be a potential destroyer or culprit behind the debris of ac voltage .To know more on the energy losses just google it.Hope this helps

he doesn't explain how a rectifier works. That's when I hit the back button...

[@ro0tpixel224]

Bro you have to know how diods works , search about the full wave and half wave and diods u will understand that the diods with p and n

[@matufujiwara7493]

diodes allow current to flow only one direction. now look how the diodes are placed. if you got brains you should get it now

[@TheOzthewiz]

Call me old fashioned, but Ihave NEVER HEARD "pulsating DC" (output of rectifier) called IRREGULAR DC. Sounds like a medical issue that reqires medication for you to become "regular".
