The design of the MxC is simpler and more efficient than a conventional inverter. The MxC uses a different
mechanism to generate AC voltage, and relies on nine bi-directional switches to adjust AC output power to the
motor directly from an AC line power input.
The MxC has no rectifying diodes and no DC bus capacitors commonly used in inverters.
