Power Semiconductor Drives - Tapa blanda

The book is primarily intended for B.E./B.Tech. students of Electrical Engineering/Electrical and Electronics Engineering having courses in Electric Drives/Power Semiconductor Drives. It will also be highly useful for M.E./M.Tech. students of these disciplines specializing in Power Electronics/Industrial Drives/Electric Drives. The text is divided into eight chapters. The first two chapters cover the control of dc motors by using various kinds of converters. The third chapter focuses on dual converters and various braking techniques. Chopper control fed dc motors are discussed in the fourth chapter. The next three chapters are devoted to control methods for induction motors. The eighth chapter deals with the control of synchronous motor drives fed from VSI converters and cycloconverters.
