ABSTRACT:
A direct a.c. supply converter for converting an N (.gtoreq.2) phase input voltage system into an a.c. output voltage system of different frequency, amplitude, and/or phase using width-modulated contributions from the phases of the input voltage system to produce the output voltage system suffers from the disadvantage that the maximum output voltage amplitude can be limited to the minimum instantaneous voltage of the input voltage system because of the arbitrary timing relationship between the two voltage systems. This limitation is relieved by the addition of a component at the N.sup.th harmonic of the input system frequency to the width-modulation so that the effective minimum instantaneous voltage of the input system is increased. An increase in the maximum output voltage amplitude can also be obtained by adding to the width-modulation a component at the P.sup.th harmonic of the output system frequency; this can be used along or in conjunction with the component at the N.sup.th harmonic of the input system frequency.
