Power Electronics

This work is suitable for second- and third-year undergraduate students of electronics and electrical engineering, MSc students of power electronics and also for practising design engineers. The second edition is now in four parts. The first part covers power device electrical and thermal characteristics and how they relate to a device's physical structure. The second describes device driving and protection techniques. The third gives a general selection of power electronic applications. The three new chapters in Part 4 are on capacitors, soft magnetic materials, and resistors. Extra examples and problems have been included to enhance further the book's value as a course text.
