Three Phase Cycloconverter - Types, Working and Applications: A cycloconverter converts ac at one frequency to an ac of another frequency. Cycloconverters can be classified as single-phase to single-phase, three-phase…
Three Phase Converter Circuit: For large sized (rating exceeding 15 kW) motors 3-phase drive is employed. The output voltage of a 3-phase converter has less ripple contents than that of…
Single Phase Dual Converter Circuit Diagram with Four Quadrant of Operation: We have seen that Single Phase full Converters with inductive loads allow only a two-quadrant operation. If two of…
Single Phase Full Wave Controlled Rectifier (or Converter): In case of Single Phase Full Wave Controlled Rectifier (or Converter) both positive and negative halves of ac supply are used and,…
What is a Power Converter? Solid-state power converter are employed for obtaining the approÂpriate form of electrical energy such as direct current or adjustable-frequency alternating current (required to operate most…
Step Up Converter or Boost Converter: A Step Up Converter, or boost converter, produces a dc output voltage higher than its supply voltage. In the circuit shown in Fig. 17Â-34(a),…
Step Down Converter: A step-down switching regulator, or Step Down Converter (also termed a buck converter), produces a dc output voltage lower than its input voltage. The basic circuit arrangement…
