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
back to back converters, that is a rectifier/ dc-link reactive switching pattern for the inverter stage is described, such that
elements/ inverter combination, because of its several the output voltage distortion and switching losses of inverter
advantages such as bidirectional power flow, the fundamental are reduced. The performance of this proposed IMC supplying
input current is at unity power factor. MCs are more reliable, power to RL load and SCIM is analysed, where the speed

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
Fig 1. The Rectifier stage switching technique explained 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.
