Abstract

The theory of three-phase AC/AC converters, known also through their modern name, the matrix converter is presented. Analysis of the three-phase converter loaded by a passive R,L load and by an induction motor follows. The analysis was performed by means of the software package "Simulink", a dynamic system simulation tool. This simulation environment was found suited for straight forward modeling and simulation of the electronic converter and the electric drive. The switching angles needed to control the electronic converter are calculated within the same environment by means of "MATLAB". According to our knowledge this is the first time that such simulations are performed.
