Reviews

'Principles of Power Electronics was a landmark in power electronics pedagogy when it was first published more than three decades ago. It is thrilling to see how these distinguished authors have not only thoroughly brought the book's core contents up to date, but also expanded its coverage to include several new topics that are increasingly important for students to learn as they prepare to enter this exciting field. Bravo!' Thomas Jahns, University Wisconsin, Madison 'The second edition of the Principles of Power Electronics makes this classic book even more valuable. The book teaches power electronics from the ground up, providing the formal framework to learn its fundamentals and many advanced topics. This highly accessible book is an excellent text for a foundational course in power electronics. A must-have for both beginners and experienced practitioners.' Khurram Afridi, Cornell University 'The new edition of Principles of Power Electronics is a must for anyone in the field of power electronics, from the student learner to a working professional. The coverage is comprehensive, with detailed explanations backed up by well-chosen worked examples and illustrative problems. The treatment of magnetics, analysis, and design is particularly strong and a welcome addition.' Gerard Hurley, University of Galway
