Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the providing of conditioned AC power, with the conditioned AC power being capable of being provided on a continuous basis. Unconditioned AC voltage is received by transverters. The transverters convert the unconditioned AC voltage into a transverter AC output voltage. The transverter AC output voltage is monitored by current and voltage sensors. A transverter control signal is developed in response to changes in the current and voltage sensing in comparison with a reference signal. The transverter control signal then regulates conversion of the transverter AC output voltage into the desired conditioned AC output voltage. In multi-phase AC voltage systems conditioned AC voltages for each phase are provided.
