Abstract :
This paper examines in some detail the problem of controlling a single-phase cycloconverter using a multimicroprocessor system. The cycloconverter must operate with a frequency- and voltage-wild input waveform. A new control scheme based upon input areas has been devised to enable successful operation under such circumstances. Both the hardware and software aspects of the microprocessor controller are described, including details of the area algorithms.
