DC transformer as battery

Are dc-dc converters a transformer?

Present DC-DC converters aren't DC transformers– Both the converters and transformers can deliver energy from a source at one voltage and current, to a load at a different voltage and current. But a transformer, AC or DC, does it in a way that no Pulse Width Modulation [PWM] circuit can.

What is a DC transformer?

Background-The DC Transformer is a wonderful invention that should have happened about thirty years ago, when electronic switching by mosfet became efficient, compact and cheap. A DC transformer is generated by adding a number of overdriven mosfets to an AC Transformer. DC transformers will be very useful in the emerging battery driven DC world.

Do transformers work with AC & DC?

Like my previous speakers said transformers work with AC. But it can work with DC and vibrator/self-exciting circuit. If you want to get to know more deeply this topic check how works DC/DC transformer converters. (photo from TracoPower documentation)

What will dc transformers do for solar cells?

DC transformers will be very useful in the emerging battery driven DC world. They will allow cell balancing for solar cells and most any kind of electrochemical cells. In solar photoelectric arrays, the diodes will disappear, and partial shading will no longer cause disproportionate energy loss.

How does a transformer work?

So, just like you have either apply torque to, or get torque from a flywheel to change its angular velocity, so you have to apply voltage to, or see a voltage generated from an inductor when you try to change the rate electric charge flows through it. Incidentally, a transformer is much like a torque converter in an automatic transmission.

Can a DC motor charge a 24 volt battery?

DC motors, of any voltage, will be driven from DC cells of any voltage, with only a DC Transformer interface. A single smart charger for lead acid batteries, can charge 6V, 12V, and/or 24V batteries, at the same time, whether or not the batteries are connected to their vehicle, or other loads, and regardless of their state of charge, at connection.
