One Phase to Three Phase Converter Based on Thyristor Controlled Reactor

The technology of converting one phase AC to three phase AC should be widely used in electric railway and mountainous area which is out of the way. But the technology has not been solved well for a long time. It is necessary to find a one phase to three phase way to satisfy those occasions which need no-high request and reasonable price. This paper introduces the basic theory of converting one phase AC to three phase AC , and gives out two theory schemes to realizes it, introduces the working theory of TCR (Thyristor Controlled Reactor). According to the theory of one phase AC to three phase AC and the theory of TCR, give out the one phase to three phase converter based on TCR. Educes the one phase to three phase converter which is conformable to electric railway and mountainous area which is out of the way. At last, the simulation with MATLAB/Simulink is gived out to validate the controlling strategy.
