This study presents an active third‐harmonic injection indirect matrix converter (3HI2MC) topology with dual three‐phase outputs. The presented 3HI2MC has the advantages of sinusoidal input and output currents, bi‐directional power flow, and can provide two sets of three‐phase outputs, whose frequencies and amplitudes can be regulated independently. Compared with the conventional indirect matrix converter (IMC), the input reactive power control range is extended significantly, and the converter can even work as a static compensator. Moreover, a maximal voltage transfer ratio of 0.866 is achievable under all operation conditions. Furthermore, operations of the rectifier and inverters are independent. Thus, for a 3HI2MC system containing multiple voltage‐source‐type inverters (VSIs), modulation and control task can be implemented flexibly by a separate controller for each VSI, while it is difficult for the conventional IMCs to achieve such a goal. All of the features above make 3HI2MC competitive for the applications that require multiple three‐phase outputs such as multiple drives. After describing the topology structure, operating principles and control algorithm in detail, simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed topology.
