Abstract :
The devices of power used in matrix converters (M.C.) need some operation sequences to commute the current in a safe way. These operation sequences are what we denominate strategies of current commutation, being these more complex than in other converters. In this article a comparative analysis of the different strategies of current commutation will be carried out by means of simulation and they will be implemented in a experimental matrix converter to analyze its behaviour. As comparison criterion of the different strategies that have been used, the total harmonic distortion (THD), the efficiency of the converter, the maximum commutation frequency and the necessary hardware requirements for the implementation of the strategies.
