L'électronique de puissance permet, par exemple, de transformer un courant alternatif en courant continu, et, inversement, dans des gammes de puissance très élevées. Des convertisseurs de fréquence, utilisant des composants semi-conducteurs de puissance, tels que des thyristors et des transistors, servent ainsi à alimenter les moteurs alternatifs à vitesse variable. Ces moteurs sont utilisés pour entraîner des équipements industriels nécessitant de très fortes puissances électriques : ventilateurs, pompes, extrudeuses, etc. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectronique%20de%20puissance
