Description This book serves as an invaluable reference to Power Electronics Design, covering the application of high-power semiconductor technology
to large motor drives, power supplies, power conversion equipment, electric utility auxiliaries and numerous other applications.
Design
engineers, design drafters and technicians in the power electronics industry, as well as students studying power electronics in various
contexts, will benefit from Keith Sueker?s decades of experience in the industry. With this experience, the author has put the overall
power electronics design process in the context of primary electronic components and the many associated components required for a system.
The seeming complexity of power electronics design is made transparent with Keith Sueker?s simple, direct language and a minimum reliance
on mathematics. Readers will come away with a wealth of practical design information that has hundreds of explanatory diagrams to support
it, having also seen many examples of potential pitfalls in the design process.
Audience
PRIMARY MARKET: Power Electronics Engineers; also, engineers, drafters, and technicians from industrial, environmental and other electrical
disciplines which are involved in power electronics applications
SECONDARY MARKET: engineering students and professionals in continuing
education training courses
