Explanation of Solution

The device which is used to convert the electrical energy into mechanical energy is called motor. Rectifier is device which is used to convert the AC voltage into DC voltage.

In large DC controller motors, SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) is used to convert the AC voltage into DC voltage.

Thus, the electric component which is used to convert the AC voltage to DC voltage in large DC motor controllers is SCR.
