Uses of cyclo converter

Answer 1

Cyclo-converters are mainly used for producing low frequency AC voltage. The main application of such requirement is the electric traction system where low frequencies, typically 25 Hz or 16 2/3 Hz are preferred.

In such systems, three-phase squirrel cage induction motor is controlled by a suitable cyclo-converter circuit. Other applications of Cyclo-converter include

HVDC transmission systems
Static Var Generation
Aircraft or shipboard power supplies
Speed control of high power AC drives
Grinding mills
Cement mill drives
Mine winders
