It explains every facet of application of power electronics to the control of electric motors in industrial drives. The book is primarily intended for B.E./B.Tech. students of Electrical Engineering/ Electrical and Electronics Engineering having courses in Electric Drives/ Power Semiconduc…
"Although elemental semiconductors such as silicon and germanium are standard for energy dispersive spectroscopy in the laboratory, their use for an increasing range of applications is becoming marginalized by their physical limitations, namely the need for ancillary cooling, their modest stopping powers, and radiation intolerance. Compound semiconductors, on the other hand, encompass such a wi…
