Frequency converters are designed to modify a current of one frequency to a new frequency. For example, a typical frequency converter might provide a 50 Hz output current from a 60 Hz incoming AC current. The applications for such devices are mainly to provide the proper power standard to a machine, as AC current at the wrong frequency can cause short circuits and system failure in certain devices. Frequency converters are also used in AC motors, where they enable control of speed and torque. By changing the frequency of the current sent to the AC motor, they provide the ability to change the motor’s output without the need for worm gears or other gear speed reducers.
