Abstract
The author describes the commutation process in forced commutation inverters so that similarities and differences between techniques can be evaluated. There are few, if any, short cuts in commutation; commutation is a power function and, as such, should be a major consideration in the economic design of inverter circuits. Other than by reducing turn-off time in semiconductor switches, the problem will not change significantly.Keywords
