Power Electronics Handbook

Power Electronics Handbook provides a truly practical guide to the design of power circuits, characteristics of power semiconductor designs, power components and design techniques. In the new edition the sections on power and control components have been updated, the section on EMC covers the latest standards and a new section on automobile applications has been added.

It remains an invaluable source of reference for engineers and technicians, covering the design of power circuits, characteristics of power semiconductor devices, power components and design techniques.

• Written by a practicing electronics engineer for practicing engineers
• Mathematics is kept to a minimum
• More up-to-date than the competition
