Rectifier transformer how to work

Rectifier transformer how to work:

A rectifier transformer is a type of electrical transformer used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It combines the functions of a transformer and a rectifier. Here's below how to work rectifier transformer working principle:

AC Input:

 The rectifier transformer receives AC voltage from the power source.

Voltage Transformation:

 The transformer portion of the rectifier transformer steps up or steps down the voltage to the required level. This is done through electromagnetic induction using primary and secondary windings.

Rectification: 

The transformed AC voltage is then fed into the rectifier part of the system. The rectifier consists of diodes or other rectifying components that convert AC to DC by allowing current to flow in only one direction.

Filtering:

After rectification, the DC output may still have some AC components (ripple). Filters, usually made of capacitors and inductors, smooth out these ripples to produce a steady DC output.

Output:

 The final DC output is delivered to the load, which could be various types of equipment or devices that require DC power to operate.

Rectifier transformer 

Rectifier transformers are commonly used in industrial applications such as electrolysis, traction, HVDC transmission, and large DC motor drives. They are designed to handle high power levels and provide reliable DC output from an AC source.
