5 credits
This course introduces operating characteristics and practical applications of electronic switching systems. It is designed to demonstrate actual systems used to control power. Practically all electronic systems require some form of power conversion. A typical application of a power supply is to convert utility AC voltage into regulated DC voltages required for electronic equipment. Switch mode power supplies can be classified into four types according to the form of input and output voltages: AC to DC (off-line power supply or a rectifier); DC to DC (voltage converter); AC to AC (frequency changer); and DC to AC (inverter). Systems which will be studied in the laboratory setting include Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), Variable-frequency drives (VFD), Intelligent Charging Systems, and Switching-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).
