The invention relates to a frequency converter, in particular to a high-voltage matrix converter. At present, frequency converters are high in cost, large in size, short in service life, high in output voltage harmonics and low in power factor. The high-voltage matrix converter comprises a phase shift isolation transformer, a matrix transformation unit array and a general controller, wherein the phase shift isolation transformer is provided with 3n three-phase secondary windings, and the matrix transformation array is of array structure formed by arranging 3n matrix transformation units in a mode that 3 rows time n lines. In the matrix transformation unit array, power output ends of the matrix transformation units of each row are serially connected, each matrix transformation unit is composed of an input filter, a power switch array and sub-controllers. Power wires of the sub-controllers are connected with any two or three phases in input ends of preceding-stage three-phase bridge rectifying circuits in the power switch arrays, and signal wires of the sub-controllers are connected with the power switch arrays. The high-voltage matrix converter is low in cost, small in size, long in service life and easy to realize energy feedback, and the frequency converters are safe and stable in operation and low in cost.
