'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
'… a gold-standard book in power electronics.' Dennis Feucht,
