PREFACE
Power Electronics is the technology associated with efficient conversion, control and
conditioning of electric power from its available input into the desired electrical output
form. The field of the book is concerned of electrical power processing using electronic
devices the key component of which is a switching power converter.
Power electronics has found an important place in modern technology being a core of power
and energy control. Almost all the new electrical and electromechanical equipment contain
power circuits. The power levels encountered in this field range from less than one watt in
