No dc current in VSI and no dc voltage in CSI when the load power factor is zero.
The reactive power is interchanged among phases without involving the dc circuit.
Thus, the sizes of C in VSI and L in CSI have no relationship with the reactive power
on the ac side.
The dc side voltage and current are related only to the active power of the ac side
