Where Can I Find Reliable Learning Material for Power Electronics?

In summary, there are several recommended learning materials for power electronics, including "High-Frequency Switching Supplies" by Chryssis, "DC-DC Switching Regulator Analysis" by Mitchell, and "Switchmode Power Supply Handbook" by Billings. Additionally, Motorola's website offers helpful application notes on power semiconductor devices and their applications, although some features may not be functional.

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... ?
