Power Electronics Design:A Practitioner’s Guide:I have presented numerous courses in the form of noontime tutorials
during my career with Robicon Corporation. These covered such
essential subjects as transformers, transmission lines, heat transfer,
transients, and semiconductors, to name but a few. The attendees were
design engineers, sales engineers, technicians, and drafters. The tutorials
were designed to present an overview of the power electronics
field as well as design information for the engineers. They were very
well received and appreciated. The material was useful to design engineers,
but the technicians, drafters, and sales engineers appreciated
the fact that I did not talk over their heads. I have also given tutorials
to national meetings of the IEEE Industrial Applications Society as well as local presentations. This book represents a consolidation and organization of this material.
