In this paper, a new topology for a two-quadrant converter is presented. In the AC/DC transfer mode, the converter works as a rectifier with near sinusoidal input currents (RNSIC), while in the DC/AC transfer mode it works as a square-wave pulse switching inverter. We offer some suggestions for the converter design and realize a comparison with a two-quadrant PWM converter. The new converter is characterized by smaller power losses, reduced EMI problems and higher reliability.
