Description
In this completely reset and updated edition of this well received text, the author has taken the opportunity to extend the coverage considerably by adding new material throughout and including a completely new part on Passive Components. The three new chapters that make up Part 4 are entitled Capacitors, Soft Magnetic Materials, and Resistors. Other important additions to Part 3 on Applications are the inclusion of converter underlap, reversible converters, standby and uninterruptible supplies. To enhance further the book's value as a course text, extra examples and problems have been included.
