More Information
Summary:Matrix converter has a topology that inherently exhibits sinusoidal input current waveforms and has small output voltage steps. This paper proposes to integrate the matrix converter with filters, which provide lower EMI, lower common-mode current, lower shaft voltage, and sinusoidal output voltage waveforms. A salient aspect of the proposed integration is its ability to significantly reduce the value of the input EMI filter capacitors and still meet strict EMT regulations. This helps in reducing the ground leakage current, which in the past has been a serious limitation in applying EMI filters with low ground currents for human and cattle safety.
