What is power electronics
Branch of electrical engineering
devoted to conversion and
control of electric power using
electronic converter based on
semiconductor power switches
Input

AC
Choppers
Cycloconverters or controllers
Types of power conversion and the
corresponding power converters
Power Electronics Applications
Any load with special voltage/frequency demand
for example:
•
Variable speed motor drives.
•
Power supply circuits.
•
Electric/solar/hybrid Vehicles Propulsion
•
High voltage dc transmission
•
Process control and factory automation
Power Electronics Approach
The main objective of the power electronics is to
produce
Efficient and Controllable systems that process
electric power...
Semiconductor Switching Devices
•ideal switching devices
•Non-controlled devices (Power Diode)
• Semi-controlled devices (SCR, Triac)
•Fully controlled devices
(GTO, BJT, Power MOSFET, IGBT, MCT)
Fully Controllable Switches
GTO (Gate turn-off thyristor)
BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor)
Power MOSFET (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field
Effect Transistor)
IGBT (Isolated-Gate BJT)
MCT (MOSFET-Controlled Thyristor)
Ideal Switch Characteristics
•Conduction (ON-state) resistance = 0 
•Blocking (OFF-state) resistance =  
•Instantaneous Switching, or zero switching
time.
•Fully Controlled.

How the SCR can be turned ON?
2. Through the Gate: If the Anode current (IT) increased to
higher than the device latching current (IL), while the gate
pulse is being applied.
1. If the forward voltage (VAK) acceded the forward
blocking voltage of the device (VFB)
How the SCR can be turned OFF?
SCR can be turned-off ,when the forward conduction current
be reduced to a value below the holding current (Ih ) of the
devices for sufficient time.
In AC circuits SCR turns OFF as the currents tends to
change its polarity (natural commutation)
In DC circuits, to turn OFF the SCR an additional
auxiliary circuit is applied to bring the SCR to zero
(forced commutation)
