Power Electronics: Devices, Circuits, and Applications (Fourth Edition)
By Muhammad H. Rashid
One of the most reputed and revered texts in its field for more than three decades, this book is known for its exemplary writing style, precise descriptions, and supreme attention to detail in the quality of its schematics — qualities that have made it one of the most sought-after and inspiring books on power electronics. This fourth edition beautifully upgrades the earlier work, with substantial updates to detail without compromising on style, content, or technical quality. The book covers the fundamental principles and applications of power electronics, beginning with an introduction to power semiconductor devices — diodes, thyristors, and MOSFETs — before moving into power electronic circuits and their applications across industries such as renewable energy, automotive systems, and industrial automation, with numerous examples and case studies helping readers connect theory to real-world use. It has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Korean, Italian, Chinese, and Persian, reflecting its reach well beyond its country of origin.
Topics commonly covered include:
- Power diodes and switched RLC circuits
- Diode rectifiers
- Power transistors
- DC-DC converters
- DC-AC converters (inverters)
- Resonant pulse inverters
- Multilevel inverters
- Thyristors and thyristorized converters
Key features:
- Organized into clear parts: diodes/rectifiers, transistors/DC-DC converters, inverters, and thyristors
- Renowned for exceptionally precise, high-quality schematics and diagrams
- Strong focus on practical applications across renewable energy, automotive, and industrial automation
- More than three decades of continuous refinement and international translation
- Written by an author with extensive academic leadership and IEEE/IET fellowship recognition
Perfect for:
- Electrical engineering students taking a dedicated power electronics course
- Students needing both device-level and circuit-level understanding of power conversion
- Practicing engineers working on renewable energy or industrial power conversion systems
- Faculty teaching power electronics with strong emphasis on precise circuit design
