Power Electronics: Devices Converters and Applications (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789333224017)

Power semiconductor devices are discussed in first chapter. SCR, GTO, LASCR, RCT, MCT, characteristics, rating turn-off and turn-on is presented. Power BJT, MOSFET, IGBT, driving circuits, protection and snubber circuits are also discussed. Commutation circuits and series and parallel operation are presented. Single and three phase controlled converters are given in second chapter. Half wave, full wave, midpoint, semiconverters, full converters, dual converters and effect of source inductance is also given. Operation with resistive and inductive load is discussed. Third chapter presents AC voltage controllers and cycloconverters. On-off control, phase control, triac based controllers are given. Cycloconverters and operations with inductive as well as resistive load are discussed.Choppers are given in fourth chapter. Step down, step up, voltage, current and load commutated choppers are given. Classification is also discussed.Last chapter presents inverters. Half bridge, full bridge, quasi square wave, push-pull, thyristorized inverters with resistive and inductive loads are given. Switching techniques for PWM inverters are also given.
