    AC/AC converters

    AC/AC converters are used to change either the voltage level or the frequency (international power adapters, light dimmer). In power distribution networks AC/AC converters may be used to exchange power between utility frequency 50 Hz and 60 Hz power grids. MODERATOR EDIT: SPAM REMOVED

    As efficiency is at a premium

    As efficiency is at a premium in a power electronic converter, the losses that a power electronic device generates should be as low as possible. The instantaneous dissipated power of a device is equal to the product of the voltage across the device and the current through it. From this, one can...

    Power electronic converters

    Power electronic converters can be found wherever there is a need to modify the electrical energy form (i.e modify its voltage, current or frequency). Therefore, their power range is from some milliwatts (as in a mobile phone) to hundreds of megawatts (e.g in a HVDC transmission system). With...
