A carrier-based modulation (CBM) method is proposed for indirect matrix converters (IMC) to reduce common-mode voltage (CMV). The proposed method is developed by utilizing two triangle carriers with opposite phase, and the phase with the minimum absolute output voltage uses the different carrier.

Traction converters in automotive applications benefit from various emerging technologies like semiconductor-materials such as SiC or converter topologies like multilevel converters. As especially novel topologies often lack an analytic way to determine their power losses or efficiency, comparability is often hard to achieve until each converter is built up and measured. With the proposed procedure...
