Indirect converter
When the source network is alternating, a network converter feeds a machine converter: hence the term "indirect converter".
Rectifier
Direct AC-DC converter.
Inverter
Direct DC-to-AC converter.
Cycloconverter
Direct static AC/AC converter, working by sampling an input frequency; the output voltage is, at most, equal to one third of the supply frequency.
Pulse width modulation (PWM)
Control algorithms for voltage converters based on controllable blocking components (IGBTs), enabling near-sinusoidal output voltage waves to be obtained in the general case.
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
