- calculate the waveforms in DC-DC, AC-DC. and DC-AC converters
- describe the function of common semiconductors used in power control
- describe and model thermal effects
- describe various pulse width modulation principles
- describe the control of DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-AC converters
- know about drive and protection circuits for power control
define the base requirements for selection of components in converter design
Content
Power electronic applications, diode rectifiers, thyristor rectifiers, switch mode converters (DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-AC), power semiconductors, semiconductor rating and thermal effects, Boost, converter control and protection, switch-mode power supply, variable speed drive, high voltage applications (HVDC, SVC).
