Why does a converter that looks correct on paper still overheat, oscillate, produce damaging transients, or fail the moment you connect real devices and a real load?
You may understand circuit theory and know the standard converter equations, yet still struggle to connect switching behaviour, semiconductor losses, magnetics, thermal limits, gate drives, feedback stability, electromagnetic interference, and protection. Studying those topics separately leaves dangerous gaps. A single overlooked parasitic, junction-temperature rise, control delay, or insulation requirement can turn a promising design into repeated simulations, failed prototypes, and expensive troubleshooting.
Handbook for Principles of Power Electronics gives you a structured path from first principles to integrated converter design and validation. It develops the governing equations from switching states, volt-second balance, charge balance, device behaviour, and energy conservation, then applies them through complete worked examples, practice problems, design worksheets, and system-level checks.
With this handbook, you will be able to:
-
Analyse switching states and derive conversion ratios, current ripple, voltage ripple, and conduction-mode boundaries.
-
Select semiconductor devices by evaluating voltage and current stress, conduction loss, switching loss, gate requirements, and safe operating limits.
-
Design inductors and transformers using flux density, turns ratio, air gap, winding loss, core loss, leakage, and insulation constraints.
-
Calculate thermal resistance paths, junction temperature, transient heating, heat-sink requirements, and reliability limits.
-
Compare rectifier, nonisolated, isolated, resonant, inverter, multilevel, current-source, and alternating-current converter families.
-
Develop averaged models, identify poles and zeros, design compensation, and assess stability in frequency and time domains.
-
Evaluate harmonics, filters, electromagnetic interference, protection, clearances, grounding, precharge, isolation, and safe shutdown behaviour.
You will explore diode, transistor, and thyristor switching; hard and soft commutation; gate-drive circuits; magnetic-component design; pulse-width modulation; current-mode control; power quality; fault detection; simulation; prototype measurement; and formal design review. Reference appendices provide circuit-analysis support, device-loss worksheets, magnetic-design worksheets, and reusable control and simulation models.
This handbook is written for upper-level electrical and electronic engineering students, graduate entrants, practising engineers, and technical professionals who need a rigorous course companion or desk reference. You should already understand basic direct- and alternating-current circuits, semiconductor electronics, differential equations, Laplace transforms, and introductory feedback control.
If you want to move beyond ideal schematics and understand what makes a converter efficient, stable, thermally sound, measurable, and defensible, this handbook gives you the method. Add it to your technical library and approach your next design with calculations you can trace and decisions you can justify.

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.
