Converter with only one controlled semiconductor

This type of converter is rare and is only used in the small power range (<250 kW).

It impresses with the simplest technology and works with only one controlled semiconductor (thyristor or transistor) in the inverter.

This semiconductor is loaded quite heavily, so that series and parallel connections are required at higher power.

With the then larger number of inverter semiconductors, it is more sensible to implement alternative inverter types.
