What is the Difference between frequency converter and frequency inverter?

frequency is genrally cycle per second, and frequencies may be of a dc nature or ac , devices which convert dc frequency in to an ac frequency are frequency converters and devieces which convert ac frequency in to dc frequency are frequency inverters. because in terms of power electronics, devices which convert ac to dc are called converters, and devices which convert dc in to ac are called "inverters" 'mehboob hunzai" I'm a engineers in this devices, the frequency inverter is convert AC to AC but with variable frequency output, means the frequency & voltage are adjustable; The frequency converter can convert DC to AC, like 24VDC to 220VAC and also the frequency is adjustable. One most important thing is the out power of frequency inverter just can be used for controlling AC motor, while frequency converter can be treated as normal power supply as our daily using power grid.

How does an ac drive variable speed drive operate to control speed?

Answer #1 It varies the frequency fed to a synchronous AC motor. As the frequency changes, so does the motor speed. Answer #2 The formula for calculating speed is: (120 X motor supply frequency) / number of poles 120 is a fixed number, so is the number of poles for a given motor, hence the only variable is the motor supply frequency. AC drives vary the motor supply frequency in turn achieving speed control.

When the frequency in AC circuit is high the wave length is?

When the frequency in an AC circuit is high, the wavelength is shorter. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in electromagnetic waves. As frequency increases, the wavelength decreases.


How does a frequency inverter work?

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.

What is a cycloconverter?

A cycloconverter or a cycloinverter converts an AC waveform, such as the mains supply, to another AC waveform of a lower frequency, synthesizing the output waveform from segments of the AC supply without an intermediate direct-current link.
