Hardware design and protection issues in an AC/AC converter

An AC/AC converter has been designed and implemented for the purpose of
providing a modular drive system with a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM.) This
converter is to be used in laboratory testing and also as part of a demonstration system in
the field.
All hardware needed to start and run the BDFM is now consolidated into a single
NEMA standard frame electrical equipment box. This allows easy transportation and
setup of the drive system, and will enable the BDFM drive system to be directly
compared with existing induction machine based drive systems.
Converter subsystem overviews in the body of the text and comprehensive
schematics in the appendices of this thesis describe all circuitry included in the drive
system. Sufficient construction detail is given to allow for duplication of this converter
by qualified technical personnel. While not tailored for mass production, this converter
may provide a starting point for a commercially viable design. / Graduation date: 1998
