What does a Transformer-Rectifier do?

A Transformer-Rectifier is primarily used to convert alternating current (AC) voltage into direct current (DC) voltage. In this process, the transformer adjusts the voltage to the required level, and then the rectifier circuit converts that AC voltage to DC. This conversion is crucial in electrical systems, especially where DC power is needed for operation of various devices and equipment.

While generating AC power, regulating power distribution, and storing electrical energy are important functions in various electrical systems, they are not the roles of a Transformer-Rectifier. A Transformer-Rectifier focuses specifically on the transformation of voltage types and is a critical component in systems where DC electricity supply is essential.
