Where Can I Find Reliable Learning Material for Power Electronics?

Click For Summary
Reliable learning materials for power electronics include "High-Frequency Switching Supplies" by Chryssis, "DC-DC Switching Regulator Analysis" by Mitchell, and "Switchmode Power Supply Handbook" by Billings. For those interested in power semiconductor devices and converters, Motorola offers valuable application notes on their website. Users noted some issues with animations on the Motorola site, but the content remains useful. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on specific areas of power electronics, such as motor control or high voltage applications. Overall, various resources are available for different aspects of power electronics learning.

Depends a bit on what you mean by power electronics. Do you mean power supplies?

"High-Frequency Switching Supplies" by Chryssis
"DC-DC Switching Regulator Analysis" by Mitchell
"Switchmode Power Supply Handbook" by Billings

Or do you mean some motor control type of power electronics, or high voltage high power stuff like AC Mains power distribution and power generation... ?
 
Thank you for replying .By power electronics i mean -'power semiconductor devices,phase controlled converters,inverters,dc-dc converters.

Motorola has some very good application notes on various power semiconductor applications. Check out their website.
 
Thanx.Motorola site is good.Unfortunately the animations are not working .
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
