AC/DC Converter

This tool provides an accessible way to estimate the output of AC to DC converters using a simplified power-balance model. It accepts input_voltage, desired_output_voltage, and a load specification (either resistance or current) with an optional efficiency value and transformer_ratio. The core calculation derives V_out from the ratio or from the requested output and computes I_out from the chosen load model. P_out is the product of V_out and I_out, and P_in equals P_out divided by efficiency. The model supports comparison across scenarios by altering inputs and ratios, enabling rapid feasibility checks for design exploration. It is valuable for design reviews, educational demonstrations, and early-stage feasibility assessments where detailed circuit simulation is unnecessary. The tool emphasizes transparent assumptions, such as steady-state operation and a single-stage model, and highlights the impact of efficiency on input power and heat. Outputs are provided with two-decimal precision to facilitate quick decision-making and rough BOM planning. The approach is policy-agnostic and does not substitute for regulatory compliance analysis or thermal design validation.
