Features
Direct frequency conversion—high efficiency can realize good input and
frequency converter.
APPLICATION:
AC voltage controllers are used either for control of the rms value of
voltage or current in
lighting control,
domestic and industrial heating,
speed control of fan, pump or hoist drives,
soft starting of induction motors etc.,
Or as static ac switches (on=off control) in
transformer tap changing,
temperature control,
speed stabilization of high inertia induction motor drives such as
centrifuge,
capacitor switching in static reactive power compensation..
