Power Electronics Fundamentals
Aperçu
Using advanced simulation models and analyses used in industry, but wrapped in an intuitive, pedagogical environment Multisim enables students to characterize power circuits concepts before the laboratory.
The power capabilities of Multisim means that students have access to the same technology that they will use for research and industry to prototype power electronics circuit designs. However in learning power electronics in a simulated environment optimized for education, students have the ability to experiment safely before the laboratory.

AC to DC Power (Rectifiers)
Rectifiers are used to convert alternating current to direct current. Understand more about half wave and full wave rectification.
DC to AC Power (Inverters)
Inverters convert direct current into alternating current through the use of transformers, switches and control circuits.
DC to DC Power (Regulators)
Voltage regulators are designed with the intention of controlling a constant voltage. Achieving this requires careful component selection and circuit design.
