Neuware - Every design review eventually reaches a term that someone at the table cannot fully explain - a firing angle, a duty cycle, a modulation scheme, a datasheet parameter that quietly decides whether the design works. The answer is usually in a different book from the one on the desk.That is the gap this A-to-Z reference is built to close. Engineers lose hours reconciling scattered sources, and students can run a topology in simulation yet struggle to justify the choices behind it. This book connects each idea to the decision it drives - showing not just what a quantity is, but how it shapes a real converter, inverter, or drive - and works every result through with the equations and examples that make the method usable.After spending time with this guide you will be better able to: - See how firing angle, duty cycle, and modulation depth shape a converter or inverter output, with the governing relations derived in full.- Connect datasheet parameters - holding and latching current, reverse recovery, junction temperature - to the design decisions they actually control.- Compare converter and inverter topologies on the terms that matter in practice: loss, control behaviour, footprint, and suitability.- Work through complete numeric examples, such as soft-starter voltage for a limited inrush or the end-to-end efficiency of a high-voltage DC link.- Trace the cross-references from a single device to the systems that use it, so a component is never studied in isolation.Practical coverage runs from magnitude and phase-angle control, DC-DC conversion, and switch-mode supplies to rectifiers and reverse recovery, gate drive and switching behaviour, pulse-width and space-vector modulation, field-oriented and variable-frequency motor control, power factor correction, and thermal and heat-sink design - applied across electric-vehicle powertrains, battery charging and management, motor drives, renewable-energy conversion, and grid interconnection.It is written for practising engineers who need fast, trustworthy answers during design and review, and for students and early-career engineers who want to understand - not merely operate - the circuits they build. A working knowledge of circuit analysis and elementary calculus is assumed.Take the next step toward applying power-electronics ideas with confidence: open the book to the term in front of you and start turning it into a design decision you can defend.…

Every design review eventually reaches a term that someone at the table cannot fully explain — a firing angle, a duty cycle, a modulation scheme, a datasheet parameter that quietly decides whether the design works. The answer is usually in a different book from the one on the desk.
That is the gap this A-to-Z reference is built to close. Engineers lose hours reconciling scattered sources, and students can run a topology in simulation yet struggle to justify the choices behind it. This book connects each idea to the decision it drives — showing not just what a quantity is, but how it shapes a real converter, inverter, or drive — and works every result through with the equations and examples that make the method usable.
After spending time with this guide you will be better able to:
- See how firing angle, duty cycle, and modulation depth shape a converter or inverter output, with the governing relations derived in full.
- Connect datasheet parameters — holding and latching current, reverse recovery, junction temperature — to the design decisions they actually control.
- Compare converter and inverter topologies on the terms that matter in practice: loss, control behaviour, footprint, and suitability.
- Work through complete numeric examples, such as soft-starter voltage for a limited inrush or the end-to-end efficiency of a high-voltage DC link.
- Trace the cross-references from a single device to the systems that use it, so a component is never studied in isolation.
Practical coverage runs from magnitude and phase-angle control, DC-DC conversion, and switch-mode supplies to rectifiers and reverse recovery, gate drive and switching behaviour, pulse-width and space-vector modulation, field-oriented and variable-frequency motor control, power factor correction, and thermal and heat-sink design — applied across electric-vehicle powertrains, battery charging and management, motor drives, renewable-energy conversion, and grid interconnection.
It is written for practising engineers who need fast, trustworthy answers during design and review, and for students and early-career engineers who want to understand — not merely operate — the circuits they build. A working knowledge of circuit analysis and elementary calculus is assumed.
Take the next step toward applying power-electronics ideas with confidence: open the book to the term in front of you and start turning it into a design decision you can defend.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
