This paper introduces an enhanced commutation method applied to the indirect matrix converter topology. It is based on the detection of the load current polarity so as to cancel the turn-on delay times of the load-side converter's switches. The proposed method allows the grid-side converter devices to commutate at zero current with larger time interval widths provided for this safe commutation. Moreover, it has been shown through experimental results, carried out on a laboratory prototype of the matrix converter, that a substantial improvement of line current total harmonic distortion is achieved.
