Hi all,

I am using a h & m duette controller and recently found a h & m victor transformer rectifier. Could anyone tell me what this is in simple terms? And what it does?

thanks,

-H

A rectifier is a device that changes alternating current to direct current. They would be used on the secondary connection of a transformer to provide DC instead of the AC a transformer works with.

H and M stands for Hammant and Morgan. This was a British company. The Duette is a dual control power pack. The transformer rectifier is used to power fixed DC voltage accessories.
