- use an external charger, which converts AC current into DC current and charges the vehicle at 50 kW.

A set of rectifiers (diode bridge) is required to convert AC to DC.

The CW is a voltage multiplier that converts AC or pulsing DC electrical power from a low voltage level to a higher DC voltage level.

AC/DC equipment would connect all the tube heaters in series to match the supply voltage; a rectifier would convert AC to the unidirectional current required for operation.

Can convert AC from one voltage and current, to another.

A mercury arc valve rectifier station could convert AC to DC where networks were still used.

Since then, Con Ed has been converting AC to DC by way of hundreds of underground rectifiers.

But silicon-based, solid-state components could sustain damage without transformers to convert AC to DC.

There's no reason to convert to 120 volts AC just to run some lights.
