In these drives the input energy from a fixed frequency AC source (the AC mains power supply) is converted to a DC form by means of a rectifier and stored in a energy storage element in the drive. The variable voltage (or current), variable frequency output is generated from this energy reservoir.n these drives the input energy from a fixed frequency AC source (the AC mains power supply) is converted to a DC form by means of a rectifier and stored in a energy storage element in the drive.

Recently I had the occasion to help a family member out with a domestic roundtrip ticket. Unlike the last time, our timing was pretty tight, and I found that because I was within 21 days of the flight, both United and American charge a $75 close-in booking fee. Delta does not charge such a fee, but of course you can never find any Saver award availability on Delta (this time was no exception).
Close-in booking fees: Most U.S. airlines impose fees for booking awards within a certain window of time (usually 21 days out). American, United and US Airways will charge $75 per ticket to do so, though they will waive this fee for some elite-status fliers. Consider: Alaska Airlines, British and Delta Air Lines do not impose close-in booking fees, so by booking through one mileage program instead of another, you can end up saving. Change and cancellation/redeposit fees: When you change an airline ticket, you probably will pay a fee.
