  2. Solid-state transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_transformer

    Some can convert single-phase power to three-phase power and vice versa. Variations can input or output DC power to reduce the number of conversions, for greater end-to-end efficiency. A Modular Solid-state transformer consists of several high-frequency transformers [1] and is similar to a Multi-level converter. As a complex electronic circuit ...

  3. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

    A frequency changer or frequency converter is an electronic or electromechanical device that converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. The device may also change the voltage , but if it does, that is incidental to its principal purpose, since voltage conversion of alternating current is much ...

  4. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    A solid-state transformer is actually a power converter that performs the same function as a conventional transformer, sometimes with added functionality. Most contain a smaller high-frequency transformer. It can consist of an AC-to-AC converter, or a rectifier powering an inverter.

  5. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    The VFD controller is a solid-state power electronics conversion system consisting of three distinct sub-systems: a rectifier bridge converter, a direct current (DC) link, and an inverter. Voltage-source inverter (VSI) drives (see 'Generic topologies' sub-section below) are by far the most common type of drives.

  6. Phase converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_converter

    An American Rotary Phase Converter with a Transformer. A phase converter is a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, thus allowing the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service.

  7. Pentagrid converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagrid_converter

    Circuit symbol of a heptode. The development of the pentagrid or heptode (seven-electrode) valve was a novel development in the mixer story. The idea was to produce a single valve that not only mixed the oscillator signal and the received signal and produced its own oscillator signal at the same time but, importantly, did the mixing and the oscillating in different parts of the same valve.

    Fouling is the accumulation of unwanted material on solid surfaces, Frequency changer A frequency changer or frequency converter is an electronic device that converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. Fuel Fuel is any material that is burned or altered in order to obtain energy. Fuel cell

  9. Dynamic voltage restoration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Voltage_Restoration

    In other words, the DVR is a solid state DC to AC switching power converter that injects a set of three-phase AC output voltages in series and synchronicity with the distribution and transmission line voltages. The source of the injected voltage is the commutation process for reactive power demand and an energy source for the real power demand.
