Abstract :
A matrix converter (MC) is an AC-to-AC conversion device that can generate variable magnitude and frequency output voltage. The higher carrier frequency is selected for more accurate and low acoustic noise. However, using a high carrier frequency causes new problems, such as the increase of switching loss and premature breakdown of power device. Therefore, the auxiliary resonant commutated pole (ARCP) is applied to a MC and ARCPMC has been proposed. This paper shows how the method intended for improvement of the output voltage waveform for ARCPMC was verified using the system simulation and confirmed through experimental results.
