US 2006/0076240 A1 · Conversion circuit, system and method of executing an electrochemical process

Abstract

A conversion circuit for converting an alternating current into a feed current for an electrochemical process is provided with at least one supply terminal for supplying an alternating feed current, a rectifier circuit for rectifying a supplied alternating feed current, and an output stage for supplying the rectified current to a device in which the electrochemical process is taking place. The conversion circuit is further provided with an input stage connected between the supply terminals and rectifier circuit, which input stage, when in use, confers upon the conversion circuit a substantially reactive input impedance.
