In the article the description of the basic kinds of sources of the electric power, their merits and de-merits is resulted. Nowadays independent sources of the electric power on static converters are the most universal. In spite of the fact that electronic devices are capable to provide reliable enough electrosupply with consumers of various capacities and character of loading, however their bad fitness to high - dynamic loadings still is. Therefore elec-tromachine converters remain the basic source of the electric power, as the steadiest to overloads. So even in transport independent sources, for which weight-dimensions parameters are most critical, electromachine converters are used. In the article typical circuits of electromachine converters with synchronous and asynchronous generators, their advantages and lacks in relation to static converters are resulted. And as methods of increase of their efficiency, for example work on the part frequency, are resulted. For the sources executed on static converters, use of circuits with an intermediate link of the part frequency is most perspective, which, in its turn, allows to lower weight-dimensions parameters. As a rule, static converters have bad quality of a target voltage, therefore for increase of its quality use various target electric filters. Controlled filters whit electronic elements in their structure have the greatest efficiency

In the article we have considered the basic advantages of the choice of parameters of static converters, as well as the basic classifications of static converters
