Power Electronics: Circuits, Devices and Applications

by Muhammad H. Rashid

This state-of-the-art book covers the basics of emerging areas in power electronics and a broad range of topics such as power switching devices, conversion methods, analysis and techniques, and applications. Its unique approach covers the characteristics of semiconductor devices first, and then discusses the applications of these devices for power conversions. Well-written and easy-to-follow, the book features numerous worked-out examples that demonstrate the applications of conversion techniques in design and analysis of converter circuits. Chapter topics include power semiconductor diodes and circuits, diode rectifiers, power transistors, DC-DC converters, pulse-width modulated inverters, thyristors, resonant pulse inverters, multilevel inverters, controlled rectifiers, AC voltage controllers, static switches, flexible ac transmission systems, power supplies. DC and AC drives, gate drive circuits, and protection of devices and circuits. For individuals in interested in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering.

i find this book i need it

[Vinod Menon]

want read this book

[Promit Basak]

I had to read this book for academic purposes. The texts are unorganized and full of errors. There are some tons of circuits and waveforms without proper explanations. A large portion of mathematical problems use equations out of the blue. There are also some figures and equations referred but not included. I have never read any academic book with this amount of errors. Not recommended if you don't want to see nightmares before the exam.

[Shahamat Tasin]

Absolute garbage! It's astonishing that someone can write over 1000 pages and still fail to provide any useful information. Not recommended if you want to grow intuition over the topics, or understand the topics mathematically, or if you want to be able to solve problems......basically, not recommended for anything! -_-

Power electronics is the branch of electrical engineering that deals with the processing of high voltages and currents to deliver power that supports a variety of needs. From household electronics to equipment in space applications, these areas all need stable and reliable electric power with the desired specifications. Power supply in one form is processed using power semiconductor switches and control mechanisms to another form, supplying a regulated and controlled power. While switched-mode power supplies are a common application of power electronics where power density, reliability, and efficiency are of prime importance. Motor control is gearing up with more electrification in transportation systems. Precise control and efficiency are key characteristics for power control applications. The study of power electronics is thus multidisciplinary, involving semiconductor physics, electrical motors, mechanical actuators, electromagnetic devices, control systems, and so on.

Want to pass your exam by studying the night before? Then this book isn't for you.
Want to learn power electronics by studying the whole semester? Then this book is DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU.

I don't really know what is exactly the purpose of this book.

good

[Malli]

it is very good book to attain more knowledge of new trends in power electronics technology

[Kashif]

i want to add my reading list

[Faizhusein Arsiwala]

This book is good as a reference not for scoring also explaination of waveforms are not in detail,I think PS bimbhra is better,also it is cheap.
