Disadvantages
– Large number of thyristors is required in a cyclo-converter, and its control circuitry becomes more complex. It is not justified to use it for small installations, but is economical for units above 20 KVA.
– For reasonable power output and efficiency, the output frequency is limited to one-third of the input frequency.
