DESCRIPTION
- AC-DC conversion, phase controlled rectification.
- DC-DC conversion; switch mode and quasi-resonant power supplies.
- Power factor correction; active and passive.
- Thermal design.
- DC-AC conversion, PWM, bridge and resonant inverters.
Learning Outcomes

2.Distinguish between active and passive power factor connection and predict their effects on the utility supply.
3.Analyse design and simulate DC-DC converters, Buck, boost and buck-boost.
4.Analyse design and simulate isolated DC-DC converters, forward, flyback and push-pull.
5.Analyse, design and simulate resonant converters.
6.Analyse, design and simulate AC inverters (bridge and PWM types).
