converter formula

A device that converts electric power. Conversion methods include conversion from AC to DC (rectifier) or the reverse (inverter), as well as voltage conversion of DC (DC-DC converter) and frequency conversion of voltage (AC-AC converter). AC-AC converters are widely known for applications such as motor control and frequency conversion between 50Hz and 60Hz. DC-DC converters are gaining attention as a low-loss method for charging storage batteries from solar power.
