Hanser Verlag has published the book Power Electronics for Bachelors. The 5th edition has been completely revised, updated and expanded. This textbook for electrical engineering students introduces the field of power electronics with its components and control methods. It systematically teaches the basic design and operation of modern power semiconductor devices. The terms and mathematical procedures with which power electronic circuits can be described and calculated are introduced on the basis of grid-connected rectifier circuits with diodes and thyristors. Building on this, the circuits that form the basis of today's power supplies and drive controllers using modern switching transistors are explained. Using the basic rectifier circuits, terms and mathematical procedures used to describe and calculate power electronic circuits are introduced. The circuits that form the basis of today's power supplies and drive controllers using modern switching transistors build on this. For better understanding, virtual experiments are available for all basic circuits discussed in the book. With their help, the operation of the circuits is clarified by animations; the time courses of the currents and voltages are shown. They are important for the understanding of the circuit and for the solution of the problem.
