Static Converter

A static converter is a device that converts alternating current (AC) power to direct current (DC) power or vise versa, without the use of any moving device i.e. motor, generator etc.The outputted dc voltage may be used to run some equipment or to store the electricity in batteries. There are also other type of converters that convert frequency or provide an artificial means by which a three-phase motor can be operated from a single-phase supply.
