Performance improvement of single phase matrix converter using band pass filter for induction heating

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a passive band pass filter with a single phase matrix converter (SPMC) topology used for induction heating. Proposed configuration reduces total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage and therefore, enhances the fundamental output power. Here the sinusoidal pulse width signals are generated and synchronized to avoid commutation problems, occurred in matrix converter. The comparative analysis of matrix converter without and with proposed filter at the load end are compared. The simulation results of the proposed converter circuit are verified through MATLAB/SIMULINK.
