1 CHAPTER1 Power Semiconductor INTRODUCTIONP ower Semiconductor Devices constitute the heart of modern Power electronic are used in Power electronic converters in the form of a matrix of on-off switches, and helpto convert Power from ac-to-dc (rectifier), dc-to-dc (chopper), dc-to-ac (inverter), and ac-to-ac atthe same (ac controller) or different frequencies (cycloconverter). The switching mode powerconversion gives high efficiency, but the disadvantage is that due to the nonlinearity of switches,harmonics are generated at both the supply and load sides.
Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) ... started due to the introduction of this device in the late 1950s. Chapters 3, 4, and 6 will discuss thyristor converters and their applications. The …
