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).
In April, United bumped its change fee on a non-refundable ticket from $150 to $200. The other major airlines followed suit. American, USAirways and Delta now all have $200 fees.
