Abstract
A modified current-source inverter (MCSI) that can drive multiple motors is presented. The MCSI combines the features of the current-source inverter and the voltage-source inverter. It also overcomes major shortcomings of the current-source inverter. The commutation process of the inverter is described. Design considerations are briefly introduced. Some experimental results are given for five 1-hp induction motors running in parallel from a single MCSI
