Power Converter

Document from the year 2013 in the subject Electrotechnology grade: 1 course: B.Tech M.Tech. language: English abstract: Power has two distinct effects in our lives: On one hand we have to produce it transmit it and receive it in a way that is affordable reliable and with minimal negative effect on the environment. On the other hand we have to control its use so that we can make the best out of it i.e. use it safely and efficiently and harness it to achieve qualities like speed accuracy and efficiency. Electrical Engineers should understand the path that energy takes from coal water or other fuel to robot heater or computer and be able - based on this understanding - to specify or design equipment and systems. In their work related to this material they will have to use concepts and methods that they learn in courses as diverse as computers mathematics electronics and control theory. This course serves only as an introduction to both electrical machines and power electronics. It focuses on the most common devices and systems that an electrical engineer will encounter: AC machines transformers rectifiers and inverters as well as Electrical Drives and Uninterrupted Power Supplies:Some of this material will be cover in the lectures and the laboratory and in graduate courses. Students are expected to know exactly what is discuss in class and handed out - homework notes assignments
