Textbook Information
Offering step-by-step, in-depth coverage, the new Third Edition of Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design provides a cohesive presentation of power electronics fundamentals for applications and design in the power range of 500 kW or less. The text describes a variety of practical and emerging power electronic converters made feasible by the new generation of power semiconductor devices. The new edition is now enhanced with a new CD-ROM, complete with PSpice-based examples, a new magnetics design program, and PowerPoint slides.
A cohesive presentation of power electronics fundamentals for applications and design in the power range of 500 kW or less, where a huge market exists and where the demand for power electronics engineers is likely to be. This revised edition (1st ed., 1989) adds an introductory chapter to provide a review of basic electrical and magnetic circuit concepts; a chapter that describes the role of compute simulations in power electronics; a new chapter on the design of inductors and transformers that describes concepts for step-by-step design procedures; and a new chapter on heat sinks.
