Power Converter Circuits

Power Converter Circuits reveals all key components of rectification, inversion, cycloconversion, and conversion circuits. It describes switching, voltage, and current relationships, as well as converter properties, operation, control, and performance as utilized in most practical applications. Authored jointly by a veteran scholar and an accomplished researcher in the field, the book highlights methods grounded in classical mathematics and includes an abundance of worked numerical examples. It authoritatively covers AC to DC, DC to AC, AC to AC, and DC to DC converters in a single volume and features hundreds of chapter-specific problems, with solutions provided separately at the end of the book.
