A power converter is the ignition system for a starship. It converts energy from the ship's primary power source to its propulsion units to achieve thrust. Power converters have a power supply unit and a circuit inside the unit to regulate the current of electricity. The circuit moves extremely fast regulating the current so that it can stabilize it to a selected voltage that is then sent directly to the engine. Without a it the engine for the starship would be fried instantly when someone would try turn it on.
