A power router has been recently developed for both AC and DC applications\nthat has the potential for smart-grid applications. This study focuses on three-phase\npower switching through the development of an experimental setup which consists of a\nthree-phase direct AC/AC matrix converter with a power router attached to its output.\nVarious experimental switching scenarios with the loads connected to different input sources\nwere investigated. The crescent introduction of decentralized power generators throughout\nthe power-grid obligates us to take measurements for a better distribution and management\nof the power. Power routers and matrix converters have great potential to succeed this goal\nwith the help of power electronics devices. In this paper, a novel experimental three-phase\npower switching was achieved and the advantages of this operation are presented, such as\non-demand and constant power supply at the desired loads.
