Power Electronics (3rd Edition)

Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design (Third Edition)
By Ned Mohan, Tore M. Undeland, and William P. Robbins

Offering step-by-step, in-depth coverage, this third edition provides a cohesive presentation of power electronics fundamentals for applications and design in the power range of 500 kW or less. Since its original publication in 1989, each successive edition has aimed to serve engineers and students working in the power range where industry demand for power electronics expertise is strongest, and this edition describes a wide variety of practical and emerging power electronic converters made feasible by the newest generation of power semiconductor devices. It's enhanced with a companion CD-ROM featuring PSpice-based simulation examples, a magnetics design program (especially useful for exploring design trade-offs like the effect of switching frequency on inductor and transformer size), and PowerPoint slides summarizing every chapter. Beyond core converter theory, the text also explores industrial and commercial applications alongside the practical realities of converter design — snubber circuits, drive circuits, circuit layout, and heat sinks.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Power semiconductor devices
• Diode rectifiers
• Line-frequency phase-controlled converters
• DC-DC switch-mode converters
• Switch-mode DC power supplies
• DC-AC inverters (PWM and other switching schemes)
• Resonant converters
• Motor drives (DC and AC)
• Utility applications and power quality
• Circuit design realities: snubbers, drive circuits, layout, and thermal management

Key features:

• CD-ROM with PSpice-based examples and a dedicated magnetics design tool
• PowerPoint-based chapter summaries for all topics
• Strong coverage of practical design realities alongside converter theory
• Long-standing status since 1989 as a leading text in the power electronics field
• Written by an author team with direct industry patents and academic research leadership in power electronics

Perfect for:

• Electrical engineering students taking a dedicated power electronics course
• Students needing both converter theory and practical circuit design skills
• Practicing engineers designing power converters, drives, or power supplies
• Faculty teaching power electronics with an applications-and-design focus
