Matrix converters (MCs) provide direct ac-ac power scheme for the Rectifier stage where an improved switching
conversion without using energy storage elements at the dc- configuration is used to obtain a higher dc voltage and the
link[1-2]. These MCs are an alternative to the conventional fundamental input current is at unity power factor. Also a new

converters, 2) Indirect Matrixconverters(IMC)[3]. Unlike
conventional MC, the IMC is more advantageous due to its
virtual dc link capability. Therefore IMC due to its virtual dc-
link ability can supply power to Multiple loads at different
voltages and different frequencies[4-5]. This IMC is divided
into 2 stages: Rectifier stage with 6 bidirectional switches and
inverter stage with 6 uni-directional switches[6-7] as shown in

references [8-11] uses largest and second largest input phase-
phase voltages in a given sector of duration , to produce dc
voltage at the Rectifier output. But this control strategy gives
more switching losses in Rectifier and high ripples in dc

It can be observed that the switching scheme for the IMC with
proposed control is simpler and independent of Rectifier
control. But in case of IMC explained in references[8-11] the
switching times of inverter are dependent on the Rectifier
switching times.

In Sector-1, the switching sequence for the associated vectors
