Features: This book primarily covers power electronic devices and their conversion circuits. In terms of devices, it introduces the basic structure, working principles, characteristics, parameters, and drive and protection circuits of devices from the first to the third generation. Regarding conversion circuits, it explains the circuit configurations, analysis methods, and design calculations for controllable rectification, active inversion, passive inversion, frequency conversion, DC chopper, and AC voltage regulation. Additionally, it covers PWM and switching technologies that have emerged in recent years. The book is rich in content, well-structured, highly systematic, and comprehensively reflects the major development achievements of power electronic technology over the past 50 years. These contents are essential foundational knowledge for analyzing, designing, and solving difficult problems in power electronic circuits. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and vocational college students majoring in automation, electrical engineering and automation, electronic technology, mechatronics, and related fields in universities, technical and vocational schools, and adult higher education institutions for the corresponding "Power Electronic Technology" courses. It is also suitable for reference by relevant engineering technicians.
