  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a method of over-voltage protection using power Zener diode for ac-ac matrix converter, ac-dc matrix converter, and matrix-Z-source converter. The analysis and design consideration have been explained, and the discussion on both advantage and drawback of this method also has been given. The effectiveness of this method has been experimentally verified.
