Objective
Knowledge of structure, operating range, and control concepts of modern induction motor drives, synchronous motor drives and most recent concepts and operating concepts of high frequency DC/DC converters and AC/AC-matrix converters. Understanding multi-pulse converter transformer connections and mains current formation. Consolidation of the understanding of theoretical concepts by detailed analysis of the selection of the concept, design, circuit-oriented realization and experimental analysis of signal and power circuits of industrial power electronic systems.
