Abstract :
The paper compares three-phase to three-phase IGBT matrix converters in which required four-quadrant switches are realized by conventional common collector configurations and a sophisticated semiconductor loss model is used to compute the converter losses for both switch configurations. New pulse patterns are derived to minimize the input current harmonics
