AC voltage controllers are naturally commutated.
AC POWER CONTROL
Control of AC voltage controllers is of two
kinds.

thyristors

Average load power is given by:

Power factor is:
PF=√(TON/T) = √d
Source current is always in time phase with source voltage.
This does not mean that integral cycle control circuit
operates at unity power factor- for part of time, the source
current is not present at all and therefore is not in phase
with source voltage.
PF=√d

2- AC Phase Control
Phase control is kind in which thyristors are fired once every
cycle and the instant of firing can be delayed from the zero
crossing. By this, only a part of the voltage waveform appears
across the load, providing voltage control. The load current
appears in pulses, the zero crossing of which can be used for
turn-off of the thyristors.

INTRODUCTION
Cycloconverter is frequency changer that converts AC power at one input
frequency to AC output power at a different frequency.
