Basic DC TheoryDC SOURCESSummaryThe important information concerning DC sources is summarized below.DC Sources SummaryThere are four common ways that DC voltages are produced.- Batteries- DC Generators- Thermocouples- RectifiersThermocouples convert energy from temperature into a DC voltage. Thisvoltage can be used to measure temperature.A rectifier converts AC to DC.There are two types of rectifiers.- Half-Wave rectifiers- Full-Wave rectifiersHalf-wave rectifiers convert the AC to a pulsating DC and convert only one-half of the sine wave.Full-wave rectifiers convert the AC to a pulsating DC and convert all of thesine wave.Rev. 0 Page 11 ES-02
