A. G. Pedder ERA Technology Ltd, UK An updated and extended version of a highly successful text, this second edition gives a lucid, broad-based introduction to power electronics. The text covers a wide range of power converter circuits including simple and controlled rectifiers, d.c. switching regulators, single and multiphase inverters and switched-mode power supplies. Concentrating upon the users’ needs, the authors detail general application techniques and avoid extensive theoretical analysis. Features include: A review of the most commonly used semiconductor devices. A discussion of those circuits employed to protect devices against switching transients and external noise. Techniques for thermal analysis and information on device cooling. End-of-chapter problems and numerous worked examples to assist the reader’s understanding. A detailed bibliography for those who wish to conduct further research. Presented in a logical, easy-to-follow style, this comprehensive text is ideal for students in power electronics and electrical engineering. Practising engineers who require a guide to the successful implementation of circuit design will also find this book a
