Objectives:

To introduce B.Tech and DD students to basics of Power Electronics. The student will learn about the devices used for
power electronic applications and the circuit topologies used for rectification (ac to dc), conversion (dc to dc), inversion
(dc to ac) and cyclo-conversion (ac to ac). This course is a pre-requisite for advanced courses related to power
electronics.
