Learning outcomes

  • Knows the general behaviour of active electronic components functioning as switches.
  • Knows various possibilities of electronic power conversion and is able to select them for practical application.
  • Can analyse the currents and voltages in the circuits for energy conversions
  • Can identify the possible EMC consequences of the application of power electronics
 
The student learns in a practical manner:
  • To measure Power electronics circuits
  • To select the correct measuring devices/methods  for non-sinusoidal  quantities.
