A new type of AC voltage regulator based on switching the quasi-impedance of the power supply and load is proposed. The converter under consideration can be used as a voltage quality conditioner, an asynchronous motor soft starter, a reactive power regulator, an active harmonic filter, a compensator for dips in the voltage curve, a balancing device in multiphase networks. The results of mathematical modeling and analytical calculation of the effective values by the first harmonics of currents and voltages are presented.
