Converter is AC to DC. Inverter is DC to AC
Voltage and frequency are related in AC (alternating current) systems. In AC circuits, voltage is directly proportional to frequency according to the formula V = 2πfL where V is voltage, f is frequency, and L is inductance. This relationship is important in analyzing and designing electrical systems.
You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.
In AC voltage, frequency refers to the number of complete cycles per second that the voltage alternates direction. This is because in AC voltage, the direction of current flow continuously changes over time. In DC voltage, there is no alternation of direction, so frequency is not applicable.
The maximum value of the current in an AC circuit depends on the frequency of the voltage source. As the frequency increases, the maximum current value also increases.

Frequency.
A frequency converter converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. Generally it's used for controlling the ac motor speed by changing the supply frequency.
DC Analysis: For this analysis, frequency is made zero and the voltage of the source is increased in small steps from 0V.And the output voltage is plotted. So, finally we get a Vout vs Vin curve. AC Analysis: In this analysis, we choose an AC source. We keep the Offset voltage = 0V, AC voltage or small signal voltage = 2V (You can take any voltage you wish and it doesnt matter). So, to plot the ac response or frequency response of the circuit, increase the frequency in steps and note the output voltage. from this analysis , we can find the gain of the circuit over frequency.
The function of a frequency drive is to control the speed of an electric motor. In general, a frequency drive converts the ac supply voltage into a dc voltage and then converts this dc voltage into a ac voltage of which the amplitude (voltage) and the frequency can be varied. Giving you the possibility to fully control the speed of the motor. Applications: (big) ventilators, pumps, cranes, elevators and virtually all other applications where electric motors are used.
On an AC motor you basically vary the frequency on a DC you can vary the voltage.
