rectifier
AC to DC
A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current, allowing electricity to flow in only one direction.
Rectifiers are essential components in power supplies for electronics.
More generally, a rectifier is anything that corrects or sets right: The new policy was a rectifier of past injustices.
