Abstract: A method is described for controlling a matrix converter which includes nine bi-directional circuit-breakers arranged in a 3×3 switch matrix. A commutation sequence is selected based on detected linked input voltages and a predetermined limit value and compared with a calculated commutation sequence. If these two do not agree, the switching states of the calculated commutation sequence are rearranged into the selected commutation sequence. In this way, it is possible to operate a matrix converter without requiring a precise measurement of the polarity of the input voltages, which eliminates the risk of a commutation short circuit.

Abstract: An overvoltage protection apparatus for a matrix converter has nine bidirectional power switches which are arranged in a 3×3 switch matrix. The overvoltage protection apparatus has three varistors on both the network side and the load side, which are each connected, in delta, to input and output connections of the matrix converter. A result, the overvoltage protection apparatus has considerably reduced physical volume, as a result of which the component costs for the overvoltage protection apparatus are very low.
