To calculate the DC Voltage (Vdc) from AC Voltage (Vac):
\[ Vdc = Vac \times 0.636 \]
Where:
AC to DC voltage conversion is a process that transforms alternating current (AC) voltage into direct current (DC) voltage. This is commonly done using a rectifier. The formula provided gives a quick estimate of the DC voltage derived from the peak AC voltage by multiplying the AC voltage by 0.636, which represents the average value of a sine wave over one half-cycle.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ Vdc = 120 \times 0.636 = 76.32 \text{ volts} \]
The DC Voltage is 76.32 volts.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ Vdc = 230 \times 0.636 = 146.28 \text{ volts} \]
The DC Voltage is 146.28 volts.
