frequency of the current. Power converters include simple devices such as transformers, and more complex ones like resonant converters. The term can also refer

output. DC-to-DC converters are widely used for DC microgrid applications, in the context of different voltage levels. Switching converters or switched-mode

non-isolated power supplies contain an inductor instead of a transformer. This type includes boost converters, buck converters, and buck–boost converters. These

kind of boost-converters called voltage-lift type boost converters are used in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. These power converters add up the passive

current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are separate

voltage converters need only be specified to convert any voltage within one range, to a voltage within the other, rather than separate converters being

switched-mode power supply. Switching converters (such as buck converters) provide much greater power efficiency as DC-to-DC converters than linear regulators
