Umehluko phakathi kokunikezwa kwamandla kwe-AC kuya ku-DC kanye nokunikezwa kwamandla kwe-DC kuya ku-DC.

Ezweni lezinhlelo zamandla, i-Alternating current (AC) kanye ne-Direct current (DC) ziyizinhlobo ezimbili ezivamile zikagesi. I-AC ingumbane oshintsha njalo indlela ngezikhathi ezithile, kanti i-DC ingumbane ogeleza njalo ngendlela eyodwa. Lapho sikhetha ugesi, singakhetha phakathi kwe-AC ne-DC noma I-Dc Kuya ku-Dc ngokwezidingo zethu.

Ukunikezwa kwamandla e-AC/DC iyithuluzi eliguqula i-AC ibe yi-DC. Lokhu kuguqulwa kuvame ukufezwa ngokulungiswa. I-rectifier iguqula amandla e-AC abe amandla e-DC enesiqondiso esingaguquki. Ama-diode avame ukusetshenziswa kuma-rectifier ngoba avumela kuphela ugesi ukuthi ugeleze ohlangothini olulodwa. I-rectifier ingaba i-rectifier engamagagasi ayisithupha noma i-rectifier engamagagasi agcwele. Ama-rectifier angamagagasi ayisithupha avumela umjikelezo we-AC oyingxenye kuphela ukuthi udlule, kuyilapho ama-rectifier angamagagasi agcwele evumela umjikelezo we-AC wonke ukuthi udlule. Ama-capacitor avame ukusetshenziswa kanye nama-rectifier ukuze asheleleze ugesi we-DC ophumayo.

Ukunikezwa kukagesi kwe-DC/DC iyidivayisi eguqula i-DC ibe yi-voltage noma amazinga ahlukene wamanje. Lokhu kuguqulwa kuvame ukufezwa nge-converter ye-DC-DC.

Isiguquli se-DC-DC singaphakamisa noma sehlise i-voltage yokufaka ukuze sinikeze i-voltage yokuphuma ephezulu noma ephansi. Singaphakamisa noma sehlise i-current yokufaka ukuze sinikeze i-current yokuphuma ephezulu noma ephansi. Abaguquli be-DC-DC bavame ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuphakelwa kwamandla emodi yokushintsha. Izinsiza zamandla emodi yokushintsha zisebenzisa amadivayisi okushintsha, njenge-transistors noma ama-MOSFET, ukulawula ukugeleza kwamandla kagesi. Ukulawula isikhathi sokushintsha kanye nemvamisa yala madivayisi, ukuguqulwa kwamandla kagesi noma kwamandla kagesi okufiswayo kungafinyelelwa.

Izimpahla zikagesi ze-AC kuya ku-DC kanye nezimpahla zikagesi ze-DC kuya ku-DC zinezindlela ezahlukene zokusebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ezahlukahlukene. Izimpahla zikagesi ze-AC/DC zivame ukusetshenziswa ezintweni zasekhaya, kumadivayisi kagesi, nasemakhompyutha adinga amandla e-DC.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izinsiza zikagesi ezisuka ku-DC ziye ku-DC zivame ukusetshenziswa ezimotweni zikagesi, kumaphaneli elanga, nakumadivayisi okuxhumana angenantambo adinga amazinga ahlukene kagesi noma wamanje. Izinsiza zikagesi ezisuka ku-AC ziye ku-DC kanye nezinsiza zikagesi eziqondile ze-DC zidlala indima ebalulekile ezinhlelweni zikagesi, okusivumela ukuthi sihlinzeke ngezinsiza zikagesi ezizinzile nezithembekile ngaphansi kwezidingo zikagesi ezahlukene.

Ngamafuphi, izinsiza zikagesi ze-AC kuya ku-DC kanye nezinsiza zikagesi ze-DC zamanje eziqondile zivame kakhulu ezinhlelweni zikagesi, zisinikeza izidingo zikagesi ezizinzile nezithembekile.
