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)

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
