Summary
Summary
Applications oriented, it contains all the pertinent and comprehensive information necessary to meet the growing demands placed upon solid-state power conversion equipment. These demands include improved reliability, increased efficiency, higher packing density, improved performance plus meeting safety and EMC regulations. Features a thorough assessment of basic electrical and magnetic aspects of power conversion as well as thermal, protection, radiation and reliability considerations. Stresses semiconductor and magnetic components and gives an analysis of diverse topologies.

Choice Review
In this outgrowth of his earlier Principles of Solid-state Power Conversion (1985), Tarter now includes an analysis of basic electrical and magnetic aspects of power conversion plus coverage on thermal protection, reliability, and overall design. The first three introductory chapters present the relations of various waveforms, transient analysis, and components, with emphasis on power semiconductors and magnetic components, including active semiconductor devices such as metal-oxide semiconductors (MOS) and insulated-gate bipolar transistors and thyristors and also such passive devices as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transformers. The middle section (nine chapters) deals with single-level conversion of rectifier circuits, filters, transistors and thyristor inverters, DC-DC converters, feedback, and stability analysis. The final section (seven chapters) covers design and operation of power supplies and systems, including on-line and off-line systems and both active and passive power-factor correction. References are included. Recommended for libraries serving technical community college and undergraduate engineering students. I. L. Kosow; emeritus, City University of New York
