Power Electronics Lab


Power electronic circuits are the backbone of almost every modern convenience. Automobiles, cell-phones, laptop and desktop computers, television sets, and kitchen appliances, among many other systems, require power electronics circuits to convert electrical energy to a useful form. This laboratory teaches the techniques for efficiently processing electrical energy into other forms. This gives a experience for the UG and PG students in designing circuits and building and debugging the design of the power electronics circuitry.
