Learn about cycloconverters, their working principle, circuit design, types, and real-world applications. This comprehensive guide covers everything from block diagrams to practical uses in motor control and power systems.

We can convert the High voltage AC into Low voltage DC without using the Transformer. This is known as Transformerless power supply. The main component of a Transformerless power supply is Voltage dropping capacitor or X-rated capacitor, which are specially designed for AC mains. This X rated capacitor is connected in series of Phase line of AC, to drop the voltage.
