Abstract: The principle of three phase SPWM AC-AC matrix converter using 9 bidirectional switching devices is explained. IGBT-power diode combination is used is main power switching device. Constant voltage and frequency sinusoidal supply voltage can be converted to variable voltage and frequency voltage using this converter. The working is described based on the working three phase to single phase matrix converter. MATLAB/ Simulink software is used for the simulation. The operation is analyzed for various modulation indexes and input voltages. The results are compared and the optimum condition for favorable operation is obtained.
Keywords: Sinusoidal pulse width modulation, ac to ac converter, matrix converter.
