 Power Electronic Systems
• Types of interfaces:
• dc-dc: dc-dc converter
• ac-dc: rectifier
• dc-ac: inverter
• ac-ac: cycloconverter (used less often)

• Power electronic converters components:

• Semiconductor switches:
• Diodes
• MOSFETs
• IGBTs
• SCRs
• Energy storage elements
• Inductors
• Capacitors
• Other components:
• Transformer
• Control circuit

Overview of AC and DC drives

DC drives: Electrical drives that use DC motors as the prime mover

Regular maintenance, heavy, expensive, speed limit
Easy control, decouple control of torque and flux

AC drives: Electrical drives that use AC motors as the prime mover

Less maintenance, light, less expensive, high speed

Coupling between torque and flux – variable spatial angle

between rotor and stator flux
