Abstract
A method, computer-readable code, and controller are provided for configuring a cycle-skipping control system having two or more cycle skippers connected to a common multi-phase AC (alternating current) power source to drive a variable frequency load. One or more circuit architectures (modified relative to a baseline circuit architecture) are provided. The modified circuit architectures enable at least some interconnections not enabled by the baseline circuit architecture when connected between the phases of the power source and the load phases. A respective firing sequence is generated to be applied to a plurality of power switches to the two or more cycle skippers with a modified circuit architecture for implementing a desired mode of operation.
