Abstract:
A solid-state phase converter for converting single-phase power to three-phase power, wherein the single-phase power is provided at a first and a second single-phase power terminal and the three-phase power is provided to a first, a second and a third three-phase power terminal, the solid-state phase converter comprising:a first power transfer means for coupling the first single-phase power terminal to the first three-phase power terminal;a second power transfer means for coupling the second single-phase power terminal to the second three-phase power terminal; anda solid-state inverter coupled to receive power from the first and second single-phase power terminals, the inverter including a first output terminal for coupling to the third three-phase power terminal and a second output terminal for coupling to a neutral output, wherein the neutral output is a center point between the first and second three-phase power terminals and wherein the power output from the first and second output terminals is shifted by ninety degrees from an input phase.
