What about DC-DC Converter?

DC converter DC converter: What is the name of a device that converts alternating current to direct current? A device that converts alternating current into direct current is a rectifier. Rectifiers are devices that convert alternating current into direct current, which can be used to power devices and detect radio signals. Rectifiers may be made of vacuum tubes, igniters, solid state silicon semiconductor diodes, mercury arcs, etc. Conversely, a device that converts direct current into alternating current is called an “inverter”. A rectifier is a rectifying device that simply converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It has two main functions: (1) converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), and supplying the direct current to a load or an inverter after filtering; (2) Provide charging voltage to the battery. Therefore, it also acts as a charger. The simplest of the rectifier categories is the diode rectifier. In its simplest form, the diode rectifier does not provide any means of controlling the magnitude of the output current and voltage. In order to be suitable for industrial processes, the output value must be controllable within a certain range. This control can be accomplished by applying a mechanical so-called on-load tap changer. Typically, on-load tap changers control the input AC voltage at the primary side of the rectifier transformer, and therefore the output DC value can be controlled within a certain range. On-load tap changers are usually used in combination with a saturable reactor in series with the rectifier output circuit. By introducing a direct current into the reactor, a variable impedance is created in the line. Therefore, by controlling the voltage drop across the reactor, the output value can be controlled within a relatively narrow range.
