Summary: 
This paper describes configuration and operation of a high-frequency link resonant inverter using cycloconverter techniques. In this inverter, a resonant link high-frequency voltage generated in a primary resonant inverter is isolated by a high-frequency transformer, then directly converted into a resonant link low-frequency voltage in a cycloconverter. The switching losses and surge voltage levels can be reduced by making all switches in the primary inverter and the cycloconverter operate at zero voltage. The relationship between characteristic impedance of the resonant circuit and the conversion efficiency, and the distortion factor characteristics of the output voltage waveforms are discussed by comparing of analytical and experimental results.
