Rectifier and rectifier transformer
1) rectifier transformer is the rectifier device power transformer. Rectifier equipment is characterized by the original input current, and vice president through the rectifier output after the original DC. Converter is rectifier, countercurrent and frequency conversion of the three working methods in general, rectification is one of the most widely used. Transformer used as rectifier power supply is called rectifier transformer. Industrial rectifier DC power supply is mostly by the AC power grid through the rectifier transformer and rectifier equipment and get. The application of rectification change the most chemical industry. Simply talk about the industrial high-power DC power supply. Civil rectifier transformers are commonly referred to as power adapters, transformers, power converters.
2) rectifier (English: rectifier) ??is the exchange of alternating current into direct current devices, can be used for power supply devices and detect radio signals. Rectifier can be vacuum tube, ignition tube, semiconductor diodes, SCR, mercury arc and so on. Generally do not contain voltage transformers. Refers to a wider range. Basically most of the electronic products are in use.
3) folk often put the ballast as "rectifier", inductance ballast is a core inductance coil, rectifier is a rectifier device.
The rectifier is a device that turns AC into a DC. Rectifier transformer is to provide the rectifier with the corresponding AC input power. Rectifier transformer is done AC / AC conversion, and rectifier is done AC / DC conversion.
First of all to clear their own concepts to distinguish.
1. Transformers,
Narrow concept: the concept of power transformers is able to electromagnetic coupling by a certain type of alternating energy into another standard alternating energy, such as voltage and current conversion, but in any case, the energy is conserved;
General concept: any equipment capable of transforming can be a transformer; for example, switching power supply, resistance step-down, three-terminal regulator, and so on;
2. Rectifier,
Rectification is the process of turning the alternating signal into a DC signal. The rectifier is a device that can turn the alternating signal into a DC signal.
3. Then look at the difference,
Rectifier as mentioned above, the AC signal into a DC signal;
For example, you can use a rectifier (rectifier bridge) to convert the mains 220V 50Hz AC into 308V DC;
Rectifier transformers, that is, in the "AC into DC" can also be voltage conversion, for example, can be reduced after the rectification of 308V into 5V, 9V, 12V, or boost into 400V, 450V, 500V, or other you Want the voltage.
Of course, here the transformer to do a broad understanding, because your voltage has been rectified DC voltage.
