Patent number: 12476561Abstract: An electrical converter includes an inverter configured to provide at least one input AC voltage from an input DC voltage. The electrical converter further includes an AC-to-AC voltage converter configured to provide an output AC voltage from the at least one input AC voltage such that the output AC voltage has an amplitude that depends on a frequency of the at least one input AC voltage. A rectifier designed is configured to provide an output DC voltage from the output AC voltage.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: November 18, 2025Assignee: SAFRAN ELECTRICAL & POWERInventor: Philippe Naneix
