Abstract
A three phase full resonant cyclo-converter suitable for converting a three phase AC supply to a DC output. In one embodiment the cyclo-converter consists of two half bridge cyclo-converters driving a resonant circuit. The main switching sequence of the cyclo-converter may consist of a switching sequence in which the phases of a three phase supply are switched in a repeating sequence from the largest to the smallest absolute voltage value of the supply phases.
