A matrix converter differs from a conventional drive converter in that it has

  • A.twice as many switches as an equivalent inverter
  • B.no requirement for any switching devices
  • C.no dc link at all
  • D.a dc link with an inductor rather than a capacitor

Answer: C

Correct answer: no dc link at all

A matrix converter connects each output phase directly to each input phase through bidirectional switches, converting from one ac frequency to another in a single stage. The absence of a dc link removes the electrolytic capacitor, which is the component that most limits a conventional drive’s life, at the cost of a considerably more complex modulation problem.
