AN EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF A MATRIX CONVERTER WITH PASSIVE OR ACTIVE LOADS

Abstract

In this paper, an equivalent circuit to obtain the steady-state performance of a system composed of matrix converter (MC) with its input filter feeding passive or active, an induction motor, loads is presented. The presented equivalent circuit is verified by comparing its results with previously published results. It is found that the presented equivalent circuit gives almost the same performance results obtained from the previously published results which proves the validity of this equivalent circuit.
