The essence of any power electronics drive is the conversion of electrical energy from one voltage and frequency to another. Many circuit topologies exist to meet different requirements. Some of the topologies are specifically associated with the control of particular motor types, while others can be used to control various forms of electrical machine. Some topologies are associated with particular applications or speed ranges.
