This book examines the properties of power semiconductor devices and their application in controlled rectifiers, inverters, and cycloconverters. It includes a complete analysis of controlled rectifier, chopper, inverter, and cycloconverter circuits, as well as an analysis of solid-state control of dc and ac motors.
The objective of this book is to provide technical background information in representative problem areas of concern, and to provide computer programs that permit quantitative problem solutions to be obtained in an expedient manner. The first five chapters of the book developed power electronics system input and output interface background/computer analysis programs.
