EET 1360 - Power Electronics

3 Credit

Prerequisite(s): EET1050
A study of power electronic devices and circuits as they apply to power circuits such as power diodes, SCRs, Triacs, power transistors, and IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistors) as they are used in power supplies, AC and DC motor speed drives, and different types of amplifiers that are used in servo and stepper motors. A variety of circuits such as op amp circuits, opto coupled circuits and amplifier circuits will be studied as they apply to PLC modules and other industrial circuits. Emphasis on diagnostic test equipment and troubleshooting. Offered (Spring)
