Abstract

This paper presents the design of a 3 phase Cyclo-converter which can be used for high frequency application. The load must be the RLC load for obtaining a constant voltage at 30 KHz which is resonant frequency. It can be operated at unity power factor. The cyclo - converter can also be made functional to convert the low frequency alternating current to High frequency alternating current. Here we are using MOSFET as switching device. In this paper multiple output at load side are presented. The simulation model of the power circuit can be designed using MATLAB and control signals can be found by using PIC16F877 by Keil software.
