Lecture/lab

Students will gain practical experience in working with power control devices (Thyristor, Mosfets) and control circuits, including: rectifiers, inverters, choppers and V/f PWM. Students will "construct" modular AC and DC Motor drives, using power Thyristor and Mosfets, then test, operate and troubleshoot the control circuits. Variable speed motor control will be examined with and without feedback. Applications of commercial industrial drives will be studied in ELC 206 Process Control Systems. This course is 40 % lecture and 60 % lab.
