Basic Power Electronics

At the Electric Power System there is the use of electronic components that are generally used in a series of electric motors settings. Electronic components used in electric power system in principle should be capable of producing great power or be able to withstand large power dissipation.

Include switching power electronics, control and converter (conversion) large blocks of electric power by means of semiconductor devices. Thus the power electronics broadly divided into 2 (two) parts:

1. Power series
2. Control circuit

In the following picture shows the relationship between the two sets above are integrated into one, where both the many advantages of semiconductor devices.
