Power electronics

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004457

The branch of electrical engineering concerned with the control and conversion of electric power using solid-state electronic devices. It involves designing circuits to change voltage, current, or frequency, such as in AC to DC rectifiers, DC to AC inverters, and motor drives. These systems rely on switching devices like thyristors, MOSFETs, and Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) to manage energy flow efficiently.
