POWER Electronics Devices

It is important to demonstrate a strong understanding of the main factors to consider when selecting Power Electronics Devices and the importance of Protection mechanisms against Over-Current and Over-Voltage Conditions.

What is inside a Power Electronics Module?? A Power Electronics Module integrates the PWM Controller, Power MOSFETs, Inductor and Compensation Network into the package.

Power Electronic Systems must be Highly Efficient to minimize Energy Losses and reduce the size and cost of Cooling Systems. Designers must also consider the overall System Efficiency, including the Power Conversion Efficiency, the efficiency of Passive Components, and the efficiency of Control Systems.

Power Electronics Circuits are Designed using Real Components and considering Real-Life effects associated with the Devices and Passive Components employed.

The Primary element in a Power Electronic System is a Switching Power Converter. The Power Electronics Converter consists of Power Semiconductor Devices that are turned ON and OFF at High Frequencies. This Operation Switches the Voltage and Current through the Devices, delivering a Controlled Power at the Output.
