"Electrical circuit schematic shows a three-phase source, e sub a through e sub c, connected through series resistors R and inductors L to phase nodes V sub a, V sub b, and V sub c. Six switches, Q1 through Q6, with antiparallel diodes form a three-leg converter. The direct-current side contains capacitor C sub dc and resistor R sub dc across voltage V sub dc."
