Power Electronics

Contents: 1. Silicon controlled rectifiers. 2. Phase controlled rectifiers. 3. A.C. Voltage regulators. 4. Choppers. 5. Inverters. 6. Spice and lab experiments. Appendix. Index.

This power electronics text book is systematically developed in order to meet the syllabus of undergraduate course in Electrical Engineering of various Universities in India. The complicated circuits are explained in a lucid manner with the help of waveforms. Comprehensive coverage has been made by the author in this book to explain the power electronic circuits, circuit operation in different modes, circuit design and analysis. Objective type questions have been added at the end of each chapter to have better understanding of the subject.

Salient features: Discussion on genetic controllable switches like power MOSFETS, IGBTS, GTO, Power BJTS etc. Crystal clear explanation on three phase converter circuits. PSPICE Programs.
