Where Can I Find Reliable Learning Material for Power Electronics?

AI Thread 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 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
