An analysis performance of a single-phase induction motor using single-phase matrix converter / Liyana Sa'ari

This paper presents an analysis performance of a Single Phase Capacitor-Start Induction Motor using matrix converter. It can be proved that, Single Phase Induction Motor using Single Phase Matrix Converter able to produce better starting, current, starting torque and input voltage utilization. Matrix converter is used to convert power from ac fixed frequency fixed-voltage to ac variable-frequency variable-voltage without any intermediate dc link. Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPMW) technique is used to control the self-commutated device, IGBT. Safe commutation strategy was implemented to avoid voltage spike due to inductive load. Simulation result using Sim Power system blocks is presented in this paper.
