2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC. [2]

3. Resonant inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_inverter

   This type of inverter produces an approximately sinusoidal waveform at a high output frequency, ranging from 20 kHz to 100 MHz, and is commonly used in relatively fixed output applications, for example, induction heating, sonar transmitters, fluorescent lighting, or ultrasonic generators. Due to the high switching frequency, the size of the ...

4. 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.

5. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

   Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

6. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

   A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a type of frequency changer used for speed control of AC motors such as used for pumps and fans. The speed of a synchronous or induction AC motor is dependent on the frequency of the AC power supply, so changing frequency allows the motor speed to be changed. This allows fan or pump output to be varied to ...

7. Royer oscillator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royer_oscillator

   The original Royer oscillator/inverter is an example of a "self-oscillating circuit" since its frequency of operation is determined solely by the external source of power (the input DC voltage) and at least one of the main power components that process the full power that passes through the apparatus, refer note 1 below.
