Answer: Frequency of AC
For the rotating electrical machine see Rotary converter A cycloconverter (CCV) or a cycloinverter converts a constant amplitude constant frequency AC waveform to another AC waveform of a lower frequencyby synthesizing the output waveform from segments of the AC supply without an intermediate DC link (Dorf 1993 pp. 2241–2243 and Lander 1993 p. 181). There are two main types of CCVs circulating current type or blocking mode type most commercial high pow…
A cycloconverter is also a type of frequency changer. Unlike a VFD which is an indirect frequency changer since it uses an AC-DC stage and then a DC-AC stage a cycloconverter is a direct frequency changer because it uses no intermediate stages. Another application is in the aerospace and airline industries. Often airplanes use 400 Hz power so a 50 Hz or 60 Hz to 400 Hz frequency converter is …

Matrix converters and cycloconverters: Cycloconverters are widely used in industry for ac to ac conversion because they are able to be used in high-power applications. They are commutated direct frequency converters that are synchronised by a supply line.
A cycloconverter constructs an output variable-frequency approximately sinusoid waveform by switching segments of…
