THREE PHASE TO TWO PHASE MATRIX CONVERTER

M. A. Kanunje, S. K. Patil

Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;AC-AC matrix converters are also known as frequency converters. Matrix converters are used to convert an AC signal to an AC signal with different voltage and different frequency. To produce two phase voltage, Scott transformers are widely used for industrial purposes. But their cost and core loss is much higher than electronic matrix converter. In matrix converter, the number of switches are reduced to decrease the switching loss and to eliminate commutation problem in line side. Control techniques are used for applying control pulses to bidirectional switches of the matrix converter. The hardware implementation of matrix converter consists of bidirectional switches realization, input filter design, control techniques using micro-controller.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
