  • Converters - either a frequency or voltage converter which transforms an electrical input into a different output
  • Current limiters - the practice in electrical circuits of imposing an upper limit on the current that may be delivered to a load to protect the circuit
  • Inverters - an electrical device that converts direct current to alternating current
  • Phase control - or phase cutting, a method of pulse width modulation for power limiting
  • Power conditioning - or a line conditioner, a device intended to improve the quality of the power that is delivered to electrical load equipment
