AC Voltage Regulators Review

In the present time, there are a lot different AC voltage converters topologies, such as AC voltage regulators, frequency converters, and electronic transformers. The AC voltage regulators are necessary to regulate and stabilize the output voltage in the full regulation range. Frequency converters allow converting the frequency of the output signal and also to regulate the AC signal amplitude. Electronic transformers allow coordinating the circuit with the load allow obtaining the required voltage level. In this article will be considered the known and proposed topologies of AC voltage regulators and will be offered a comparison with the known models of devices. Regulators will be classified based on the presence of a transformer. The main indicator by which the devices will be compared is quality indicators. The comparison will be conducted among the devices of the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.
