 Abstract   A two-stage multi-drive Direct Power Conversion (DPC) topology suited for multi-drive application is proposed, having an input port for a three-phase power supply and several output ports to connect three-phase loads, which are independently controlled. This has similar behavior as a matrix converter with no need of energy storage components (electrolytic capacitors) in the main power flow path, sine wave in and sine wave out operation and the same disadvantage of a voltage transfer ratio lower than unity. This is a cost effective topology compared to a standard matrix converter because the multiple loads share the cost of the controlled rectification stage. A new technique to produce the command signals for the power switches is proposed, making it possible to measure with only one current transducer mounted in the dc-link, the phase currents of all the separate loads. This technique is validated by experiments on a realistic laboratory prototype.
