ABSTRACT:
A matrix converter for transforming electrical energy between at least one voltage source, in particular a power supply network, and at least one current source, in particular a load, said converter including a matrix of switches connecting said voltage sources to said current sources, wherein each of said switches has two terminals which are interconnected via a photoconductive layer of diamond, each switch being controlled by means of a light source irradiating the layer of diamond interposed between the two terminals of the switch.
