ELTR 262 - Power Electronics

Course Description
This course is an introductory course in Power Electronics devices and applications. The course covers the use of devices such as BJT, SCRs, TRIACs and other semiconductor devices and their applications in power supplies, switching circuits, controlled rectification, motor control applications, adjustable frequency drives, inverters and UPSs. The course provides basic knowledge of circuitry for the control and conversion of electrical power with high efficiency to achieve regulation of voltage, current, or power; dc-dc converters, ac-dc rectifiers, dc-ac inverters. The theory will be supported with a hands-on lab environment.
