Abstract :
This paper presents the technical issues of applying the matrix power converter to field-oriented induction motor drives. A newly developed matrix power converter switching sequence combination is described in detail, the purpose of which is to minimize harmonic components of the matrix power converter input currents. It is demonstrated that small size capacitors work efficiently as input filters. Matrix power converter losses are calculated with a developed power converter loss calculation model. The calculation results indicate that the matrix power converter realizes a good converter efficiency
