  • Patent number: 6804127
    Abstract: An AC/DC/AC power converter is constructed without using any electrolytic capacitor, such that it is more compact, durable and reliable. This converter only required a small capacitance for its DC link and this capacitor can be easily obtainable with other types of capacitors such as film or ceramic type. The system further includes means to disconnect both input and output to this DC bus capacitor. A controller capable of fast monitoring the DC bus voltage is also able of quickly disconnecting the capacitor out of either input or output energy path to prevent the capacitor from being charged to over-voltage. The controller also possesses capability of re-connecting the disrupted energy path once the DC bus voltage returns to normal.
