Abstract :
In order to reduce the EMI and to improve the efficiency of a Matrix Converter (MC), the auxiliary resonant commutated pole (ARCP) method, a variation of the soft switching technology, is applied to a MC and ARCPMC has been proposed. The ARCP soft switching technology is able to reduce the switching loss of main switches. This paper aims to clarity the switching and conduction losses of main switches and auxiliary switches. And also, those losses characteristics are compared with the loss of conventional MC.
