The subject of the discipline is the element base of power circuits, their principles of operation, modes of operation, electromagnetic processes, control principles and energy performance of autonomous converters (DC converters, voltage and current inverters), as well as frequency converters (two-stage and direct).
Students also get acquainted with the operation of converters in mode of back-EMF (including in the recovery mode), ways to improve their energy performance, the most promising types of converters (voltage inverters with pulse-width modulation and direct frequency converters with artificial switching).
