Abstract

A static energy converter apparatus, having at least one converter .GAMMA. conforming to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,330,819, includes a supplementary output stage 21 adapted to produce an alternating current that changes direction upon each commutation of the controlled blocking static interrupters of the converter .GAMMA.. Stage 21 is such that the direction of the alternating current corresponds to the direction of circulation of current in the collector-emitter of each interrupter at the instant of commutation.
