Power Electronics (Original - 3rd Edition)

Power Electronics: Circuits, Devices, and Applications (Third Edition) By Muhammad H. Rashid

Written for junior or senior undergraduate students in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, this text covers the basics of emerging areas in power electronics alongside a broad range of established topics — power switching devices, conversion methods, analysis techniques, and applications. Its distinctive approach covers the characteristics of semiconductor devices first, before moving into how these devices are actually applied for power conversion, with four main application areas explored in depth: flexible AC transmission systems (FACTs), static switches, power supplies, and both DC and AC drives. This third edition adds new chapters on multilevel inverters, flexible AC transmission systems, and gate drive circuits, along with new sections on semiconductor basics, state-space analysis of regulators, vector controls, and stepper motor control, keeping students current with rapidly evolving topics in the field.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Power semiconductor devices (diodes, thyristors, transistors)

• Diode rectifiers and power supplies

• AC-DC converters (phase-controlled rectifiers)

• DC-DC converters (choppers)

• DC drives

• Pulse-width-modulated inverters

• Multilevel inverters

• AC drives and AC voltage controllers

• Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTs)

• Gate drive circuits and protection of devices

Key features:

• New chapters on multilevel inverters, FACTs, and gate drive circuits

• Semiconductor device characteristics presented before their power-conversion applications

• Strong coverage of four major real-world application areas (FACTs, static switches, power supplies, drives)

• Extensive worked examples and problems throughout

• Written by an author who has also produced multiple IEEE self-study guides and a widely used Power Electronics Handbook

Perfect for:

• Junior and senior electrical/electronic engineering undergraduates

• Students taking their first dedicated power electronics course

• Students needing coverage of both classical converter topologies and modern applications

• Faculty teaching power electronics or motor drive systems courses
