Abstract :
A Matrix Converter (MC) is an AC-to-AC conversion device that can generate variable magnitude and frequency output voltage. In order to reduce the EMI and to improve the efficiency, the soft switching technology is used. The auxiliary resonant commutated pole (ARCP) is applied to a MC and ARCPMC has been proposed. This paper aims to clarity the experimental output characteristics at wide output command range. The efficiency and power factor characteristics are considered in this research.
