The electronic circuit converter converts direct electric current to alternating current with desired frequency and voltage.
“Production of the low-cost electronic circuit converter domestically has decreased the country's need for imports,” Fatemeh Nasrollahzadeh, a member of the board of directors of Pouya San’at Madar engineering company, said.
“A converter consists of electronic components called inductors and capacitors which cause the output current to rise or fall slowly. Converters can be used together with transformers to convert a certain direct current input voltage to a completely different alternating current output voltage,” she added.
Nasrollahzadeh explained that the converter is capable of producing more than 90% useful energy and the electric pulses are produced directly when the on and off switch is activated, therefore, the current should be reversed 50 to 60 times in one second, in order to produce an alternating current which is carried out by the converter.
She added that the electronic power converters that are used in controlling and operating electric machines, including inductive, synchronous and direct current machines are known as electric machine drives or remote control drives that are used in various industries.
Nasrollahzadeh said that the Iran-made electronic circuit convertors are presented to the market at lower price than the Europe-made products.
A converter is an electrical circuit which accepts a DC input and generates a DC output of a different voltage, usually achieved by high frequency switching action employing inductive and capacitive filter elements.
A power converter is an electrical circuit that changes the electric energy from one form into the desired form optimized for the specific load. A converter may do one or more functions and give an output that differs from the input. It is used to increase or decrease the magnitude of the input voltage, invert polarity, or produce several output voltages of either the same polarity with the input, different polarity, or mixed polarities such as in the computer power supply unit.
