Feb 6, 2019 at 7:26 comment added Bimpelrekkie You're making too much of this rectifying business! There is no need for TRIACs etc. in modern SMPSs. The AC is rectified using a bridge rectifier and that's it. I suggest that if you want to learn more that you read a book about switched power converters.
Feb 6, 2019 at 7:22 comment added Bimpelrekkie could you please share a basic block diagram / basic building blocks of an non isolated SMPS See the wikipedia article of the Buck converter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter Figure 1. It shows the basic principle of operation. There is no other "basic block diagram" as that would show design implementations and you'd end up with a block diagram of the LM2596 or LTC3310 as shown above.
Feb 6, 2019 at 6:24 comment added APM do we always rectify the ac input, before switching it, or can we use a switching circuit made up of something like TRIAC's, and straight away switch the incoming ac signal, depending on the voltage that we require, or we first rectify it and then switch the dc voltage
