What is the difference between Rectifier & Converter?
Answer Posted / benme99
A rectifier converts AC voltage into DC voltage. A
converter is something more general. It describes not only
rectifiers, but also devices that can turn DC into AC or
perform DC-to-DC or AC-to-AC conversion.
Or
converter change one form of supply in to other.that is
from AC to DC, DC to AC(inverter), AC to AC(cylic
converter) with change in frequency.
rectifier convert AC into DC.that rectifier is a kind of
converter. But all the converters are not rectifiers.
In all whole converters makes use of SCR, MOSFET and
transistors, rectifiers is almost always diodes (bridge or
single)

1)we have 1000 cfm Blower,Dia-1Mtr,Velocity of air 94 m/s 2)We have Natural Air velocity 94m/s 3If i Put Wind Mill in natural air ,speed is 94m/s Then it will generate Assume 100kw 4)If i put same wind mill across the Blower,air speed is same 94m/s now the Question is Will it generate 100 kw?
