ELK 342E - Power Electronics Laboratory

Course Objectives

1. Use of semiconductor elements as a switching device in power converters,
2. Experiment setup and use of test equipments to measure desired parameters,
3. Preparing experiment report based on evaluation of experimental data

Course Description

Student groups of maximum four students will conduct experiments under the supervision of a laboratory
assistant. The students will gain hands-on experiences to setup experiments and perform standard tests on
various power electronics circuits such as rectifiers, inverters and AC- and DC- choppers. Each student is
expected to review the experiment documentation and necessary theoretical background related to that
experiment before coming to the laboratory. After each laboratory session, group report is due on the day
of next session.
