REVERSIBLE AC-DC AND DC-AC TRIAC CONVERTER

摘要

A reversible converter includes a first field effect transistor and a second field effect transistor that are coupled in series between a first terminal and a second terminal for a DC voltage. A first triac and a second triac are also coupled in series between the first and second terminals of the DC voltage. Midpoints of the series coupled devices are coupled, through an inductive element, to first and second terminals for an AC voltage. Actuation of the transistors and triacs is controlled in distinct manners to operate the converter in an AC-DC conversion mode and a DC-AC conversion mode.
