Rotary power frequency converters are used extensively in industry to convert power to and from frequencies other than 60 HZ. Typically the controls on these converters are of the analog feedback type. The purpose of this project is to design an operating converter using microprocessors to replace the analog controls. The result is a machine that is more precisely controlled and responds faster to power system perturbations.
