AC and DC power supplies: What’s the difference?
Author： ZYG Power Module Time： 2024-10-22
In modern power systems and electronic devices, AC and DC power supplies are the two most common types of power supplies. They each have unique characteristics and application scenarios, and are of great importance to our lives and industrial production. So what are the differences between AC and DC power supplies?
First of all, by definition, an AC power supply refers to a power supply whose direction and magnitude change over time. In an AC power supply, the direction of the current changes periodically, meaning the positive and negative charges move alternately. Because of this periodic change, the voltage and current of an AC power supply are usually represented by a sine wave, and the frequency is usually 50Hz or 60Hz. A direct current (DC) power supply refers to a power supply in which the direction of the current remains unchanged. In a DC power supply, the current always flows in one direction and the polarity of the voltage remains unchanged. The magnitude of the current and voltage may change over time, but the direction remains the same.
Next, let’s take a closer look at the characteristics of AC and DC power supplies. The advantage of AC power supply is that it can increase and decrease the voltage through a transformer, has a long transmission distance, and has low losses, making it suitable for long-distance power transmission. This makes AC power dominant in power transmission and distribution. DC power supplies are known for their stable voltage and are suitable for devices with high voltage requirements, such as electronic components. DC power supplies are widely used in electronic devices, communication equipment, and electric vehicles.
In practical applications, AC and DC power supplies often need to be converted. AC power supplies can convert AC power to DC power through a rectifier for use in DC devices. DC power supplies can convert DC power to AC power through an inverter for use in AC equipment. This conversion process is very common in power systems such as home power adapters and electric vehicle chargers.
In addition, there are differences in energy transfer between AC and DC power supplies. Because AC power supplies can easily convert and adjust voltage through transformers, they can be flexibly supplied and delivered in situations with different voltage requirements. DC power supplies are more suitable for devices that require a stable power supply, such as digital electronic devices like mobile phones and computers. These devices usually require DC power because their internal circuits require stable current and voltage.
In summary, there are significant differences between AC and DC power supplies in terms of definition, characteristics, and application scenarios. AC power is known for its periodic current direction and sinusoidal voltage changes and is widely used in homes and industries, while DC power is preferred for its constant current direction and stable voltage characteristics and is widely used in electronic equipment, communication equipment, and rechargeable devices. Understanding these differences will help us select and use power equipment correctly and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

AC-DC Converter: Converting Alternating Current to Direct Current
An AC-DC converter, also known as a rectifier, is an electronic device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by utilizing diodes or other semiconductor devices. This conversion is essential for many electronic devices that require DC power to function, such as computers, televisions, and radios. There are two main types of AC-DC converters: half-wave and full-wave rectifiers. A half-wave rectifier only allows one-half of the AC waveform to pass through, resulting in a DC voltage that is only half as large as the AC voltage. A full-wave rectifier allows the entire AC waveform to pass through, resulting in a DC voltage that is nearly equal to the AC voltage. In addition to diodes, AC-DC converters may also...
