PWM rectifier is an AC to DC power converter, that is
implemented using forced commutated power electronic
semiconductor switches. Conventional PWM converters are used
for wind turbines that have a permanent-magnet alternator.
Today, insulated gate bipolar transistors are typical switching
devices. In contrast to diode bridge rectifiers, PWM rectifiers
achieve bidirectional power flow. In frequency converters this
property makes it possible to perform regenerative braking. PWM
rectifiers are also used in distributed power generation applications

… The resistor allows the
caps to charge softly and
prevent fuse faults.

17. Conclusion:
Thus, we concluded that when the motor works at
lower speed, then it will be the less energy utilize.
So, significant amount of power can be saved with
the help of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).By
changing the frequency and supply voltage of
Induction Motor the speed of Induction Motor can
be changed. Thus, the Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD) can serve both in case of speed control as
well as Energy Saving.
