Technical FAQs 4

What is a voltage source inverter?

Voltage source inverters (VSIs) are integral components in the field of power electronics, serving as key devices for the conversion of direct current (DC) power into alternating current (AC) power with desired voltage, frequency, and waveform characteristics.

What is the topology of a current source inverter?

The first topology that will be investigated is the current source inverter (CSI). The converter section uses silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), gate commutated thyristors (GCTs), or symmetrical gate commutated thyristors (SGCTs). This converter is known as an active rectifier or active front end (AFE).
