3. Propulsion converters

3.1 Converters for propulsion motor power supplies

The different types of conversion take into account both the power components available and knowledge of converter topology .

Since the early 1960s, the thyristor has been the component that has generally driven electric motors in industry.

In marine propulsion, DC motor drives were first used for small and medium megawatt outputs, and cycloconverters (particularly for icebreakers) for higher outputs with synchronous or asynchronous AC motors. The only topology used with...
