Abstract

It is shown how the duality principle can be applied to nonplanar circuits such as three-phase bridge converters and their loads. While the direct duals have restricted utility, they provide some insight into the formation of three-phase conversion circuits that ultimately allow several new converters to be developed. These include new frequency converters, a three phase sinusoidal input current, switched-mode power supply (SMPS), and an SMPS with a three-phase high-frequency link. Some current techniques and supporting simulation results are presented
