Abstract :
The control strategy and hardware design for a 30 hp matrix power converter (nine-switch forced-commutated cycloconverter) that was developed for high-bandwidth four-quadrant motor drive applications is described. The new switching technique ensures very low distortion of the input currents with unity fundamental displacement factor. Experimental results are presented
