Abstract :
A current source inverter combined with a controlled slip induction motor is a reliable and rugged ac drive system. The majority of the inverters in use today are the voltage source type using auxiliary impulse commutation. However, recent advances in SCR blocking voltage capability are making the complementary impulse commutated current source inverter a viable competitor
