A doublesided cyclo-converter
Abstract
A power converter with reversible power flow is presented which can transform ac or dc power of one form and voltage to ac or dc power of another form and voltage, using a high frequency link. The energy from the source of supply is channeled into a modulated single phase carrier which is then split in time into elements directed to appropriate output terminals to provide the required power. The presented apparatus is based on time-proven functional elements and is characterized by light weight and low cost. Converters of this class with power capacities in excess of 100 kW are under construction.
