ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides smooth conversion of electric power between an AC line operating at a first voltage and a DC line operating at a second voltage bearing a fixed ratio to the first voltage. In one embodiment, polyphase AC is converted to rippled DC. In one embodiment, switched DC is converted to AC of one or more phases. The electric power converter of the invention uses a single electrical winding can be thought of as derived from the formerly well-known, and now largely forgotten, synchronous converter by locking the rotor, discarding the field winding and its power supply, replacing the AC slip ring contacts with hardwired connections, and replacing the DC commutator taps, bars and brushes with rectifying taps. Thus, the new power converter may be referred to as a single-winding static synchronous converter.
