Abstract
Progress in the design of power electronic frequency converters has, in large part, been a result of the remarkable advances in the design of the power electronic switches themselves. Classification of the commutation process provides a convenient means to categorize the various converter circuits presently available for use in variable frequency induction motor drives. Five categories can be identified for realizing the commutation process in a three phase dc/ac converter: natural Commutation, resonant pulse commutation, device self commutation, resonant link commutation, quasi resonant link commutation. Based on this categorical procedure, the key converter topologies both in the past, present and future are summarized.
