Overview to Power Electronics

To date, there is no widely accepted definition that clearly and specifically delimits the field of power electronics.

In fact many experts feel that the name does not do justice to the field itself, which is applications oriented and multidisciplinary in nature, encompasses several electrical courses such as:
  • Digital and analog electronics,
  • signal processing,
  • magnetism,
  • electrical machines and power.,
  • control and
  • Computer, simulation and software
  • Solid-state physics and devices
The function of Power Electronics Circuits?
convert electrical power from one form to another using electronic device.

How?
Power electronics circuits function by using semiconductor devices as switches, thereby controlling or modifying a voltage or current.
