Single phase to three phase cycloconverter

Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING In ELECTRICAL.This project presents a new single-phase to three-phase cycloconverter suitable\ud for driving an induction motor. Using discrete variable frequency technique, a\ud single-phase to three-phase modulation strategy is proposed, the output frequency\ud of this cycloconvertor can be up to half of the input frequency. Only six naturally\ud communicated thyristors are employed, so the resulting cycloconverter-motor drive\ud system is cheap and compact. Software in C and assembly language has been\ud written for real-time control. The simulation based on Matlab/Simulink is used\ud to predict the performance for the cycloconverter and induction motor
