This paper is concerned with modelling, predicting and experimental measurement of semiconductor losses in direct ACAC (matrix) converters. All of the commutation scenarios possible in a matrix converter topology using two or four step commutation are identified and studied. A complete loss model for both switching loss and conduction loss for the purposes of comparison with other converter technologies is developed and the matrix converter compared with an equivalent back-to-back inverter employing the same devices.
