Single Phase Cycloconverter
Q. What is cycloconverter ? Explain cycloconverter with neat circuit diagram.
This is a single phase converter whose input and output are single phase ac.
The input supply voltage at supply frequency (50 Hz) is converted into lower frequency ac output.
There are two configurations of single phase cycloconverter :
- Centre tapped transformer midpoint cycloconverter.
- Bridge type cycloconverter.
