2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   Power inverters are primarily used in electrical power applications where high currents and voltages are present; circuits that perform the same function for electronic signals, which usually have very low currents and voltages, are called oscillators.

3. Soft-switching three-level inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-switching_three-level...

   To improve their efficiency, high-power inverters (from about 10 kW) frequently make use of a technique referred to as a three-level design (three-level inverter). [3] Forming the basis of the S3L inverter is a hard-switching three-level inverter of this kind with a T-type topology. [4] This base design is supplemented by a snubber circuit ...

4. Multi-level converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_converter

   A multi-level converter (MLC) or (multi-level inverter) is a method of generating high-voltage wave-forms from lower-voltage components. MLC origins go back over a hundred years, when in the 1880s, the advantages of DC long-distance transmission became evident.

5. Gate turn-off thyristor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_turn-off_thyristor

   A gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) is a special type of thyristor, which is a high-power (e.g. 1200 V AC) semiconductor device. It was invented by General Electric. [1] GTOs, as opposed to normal thyristors, are fully controllable switches which can be turned on and off by their gate lead.

6. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

   Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems. [1]

7. Insulated-gate bipolar transistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated-gate_bipolar...

   It is used in switching power supplies in high-power applications: variable-frequency drives (VFDs) for motor control in electric cars, trains, variable-speed refrigerators, and air conditioners, as well as lamp ballasts, arc-welding machines, photovoltaic and hybrid inverters, uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS), and induction stoves.

8. Z-source inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-source_inverter

   A Z-source inverter is a type of power inverter, a circuit that converts direct current to alternating current. The circuit functions as a buck-boost inverter without making use of DC-DC converter bridge due to its topology. Impedance (Z) source networks efficiently convert power between source and load from DC to DC, DC to AC, and from AC to ...

9. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

   Schematic of an inverter using a vibrator as a chopper. In electronics, a chopper circuit is any of numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly.
