Summary:An alternative concept used to avoid the need for staggered
switching in matrix converters is discussed. The features of the
auxiliary resonant commutated pole (ARCP) soft switching technique are
used to reduce the number of active switches and gate drives in
comparison to conventional matrix converter technology, avoid
commutation voltage spikes, and reduce switching losses. Three different
ARCP matrix converters are reviewed and their operational boundaries are
discussed. The ARCPMC technology is critically evaluated with respect to
a potential industrial application
