Abstract
Static power converters produce harmonics due to
the nature of the conversion process. This paper will investigate
the effect on the power factor of a sinusoidal and Fryze current
reference on Matrix Converters. It has been shown in previous
papers that a Fryze current ref is best. This paper will develop a
mathematical model, based on the single sided Fourier
expansion. Using this mathematical model it will be shown that
even though a high harmonic content could be present in a
Fryze controlled Matrix Converter; the power factor will have
been improved
