How do you convert 220 ac to 12v dc?

In: Electrical Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

You'll probably have to have a step-down transformer to take the 220vac down to 110vac. Then you'll have to have an Ac to Dc converter box to change the Ac to Dc volts. The converter will probably have an adjustable output so that you can dial in 12vdc.

How do you convert 240 AC to 12v DC?
Depends what current out you want. Step-down transformer and a bridge rectifier and smoothing curcuit, or switch mode supply. Spend less than a tenner and buy a battery charger
How you convert dc power in to ac?
An AC power supply device can convert DC power to AC power source. The transformer will control the output voltage to the desired level that equipment can tolerate. The answer above won't work...
Why is it necessary to convert ac to dc?
It is necessary to convert ac to dc so it can be stored and to drive electronic devices that cannot operate at high voltage.
