Editorial Review: This state-of-the-art book covers the basics of emerging areas in power electronics and a broad range of topics such as power switching devices, conversion methods, analysis and techniques, and applications. Its unique approach covers the characteristics of semiconductor devices first, and then discusses the applications of these devices for power conversions. Well-written and easy-to-follow, the book features numerous worked-out examples that demonstrate the applications of conversion techniques in design and analysis of converter circuits. Chapter topics include power semiconductor diodes and circuits, diode rectifiers, power transistors, DC-DC converters, pulse-width modulated inverters, thyristors, resonant pulse inverters, multilevel inverters, controlled rectifiers, AC voltage controllers, static switches, flexible ac transmission systems, power supplies. DC and AC drives, gate drive circuits, and protection of devices and circuits. For individuals in interested in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Power Electronics
The books content is good so far however the book is a softcover. After 3 weeks of school the binding is starting to come apart. Seeing how the hardcover is no longer in print, do yourself a favor and buy the international edition. The north American softcover edition isn't worth the money I paid for it.
Rating: - cheaper new book
I found this book kere with lower prise and in new condition.. So what can i more expect?
Rating:  - I thought this book was lacking in alot of areas...
Not only does the author expect you to follow along no problem while he throws out all these expressions, but he also makes ALOT of mistakes. There are alot, and I mean alot, of mistakes in the example problems and the problems at the end of the chapter. Very difficult book to follow. Not really all that good for design work if some of his expressions he derives are wrong from the get go.
Rating:  - terrible book
This book makes power electronics needlessly complicated and is not even written well. Examples are useless because the equations used are poorly explained. Sometimes variables are used with no explanation of their meaning.
Rating: - A must textbook on power electronics
This should be a must textbook for any engineering student in power electronics. It is easy to read and explains the fundamentals of devices used in power electronics and their applications. Once the topics from this book are understood, future, more complex studies will be easy. After reading this book I got a through understanding of electronic components used in power electronics.
