Facets:
value: to convert the alternating current
type: PURPOSE
Source sentences:
text: In a generator the commutator picks off the current generated in the windings, reversing the direction of the current with each half turn, serving as a mechanical rectifier to convert the alternating current from the windings to unidirectional direct current in the external load circuit.
