  2. Power electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

    Power electronics is the application of electronics to the control and conversion of electric power. The first high-power electronic devices were made using mercury-arc valves . In modern systems, the conversion is performed with semiconductor switching devices such as diodes , thyristors , and power transistors such as the power MOSFET and IGBT .

  3. Category:Power electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Power_electronics

    Power electronics is the technology associated with the efficient conversion, control and conditioning of electric power by static means from its available input form into the desired electrical output form.

  4. Power electronics (music genre) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics_(music...

    Power electronics is a style of noise music that typically consists of static, screeching waves of feedback, analogue synthesizers making sub-bass pulses or high frequency squealing sounds, with sometimes screamed and distorted vocals.

  5. Power electronic substrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronic_substrate

    The role of the substrate in power electronics is to provide the interconnections to form an electric circuit (like a printed circuit board), and to cool the components.. Compared to materials and techniques used in lower power microelectronics, these substrates must carry higher currents and provide a higher voltage isolation (up to several thousand vo

  6. Power semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_semiconductor_device

    A power semiconductor device is a semiconductor device used as a switch or rectifier in power electronics (for example in a switch-mode power supply).Such a device is also called a power device or, when used in an integrated circuit, a power IC.

    A power capacitor intended to be used in power electronic equipment and capable of operating continuously under non-sinusoidal current or voltage. power electronics The field of electronics which deals with the conversion or switching of electric power with or without control of that power. principal arm

  8. Power engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_engineering

    Power Engineering deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity as well as the design of a range of related devices. These include transformers, electric generators, electric motors and power electronics. Power engineers may also work on systems that do not connect to the grid.

  9. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    Consumer electronics usually include an AC adapter (a type of power supply) to convert mains-voltage AC current to low-voltage DC suitable for consumption by microchips. Consumer voltage converters (also known as "travel converters") are used when traveling between countries that use ~120 V versus ~240 V AC mains power.
