This paper proposes a square‐wave‐voltage power distribution system and describes the problems and solutions of the system. The steep transition of the square‐wave‐voltage causes large overshoot voltage at the output terminal of the power line. In order to control the overshoot, a resonant commutated square‐wave inverter (RCSI) was developed. An experimental apparatus for a square‐wave power distribution system with RCSI was built and tested. Several test data show the superiority of the system over conventional sine‐wave‐voltage power distribution systems: the input capacitance of the rectifier in the proposed system can be made 1/20th of that in a conventional system, and the permissive transmission power increases to twice that of a conventional system. © 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc.
