2.0 out of 5 stars
A compendium of papers,
By P. Wung "Engineering is my vocation, volleyba... (Tipp City, OH USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Power Electronics and Variable Frequency Drives: Technology and Applications (Hardcover)
This book is a selection of papers that deals with the basic principles of power electronics and drives. The idea was not to give a definitive and unified treatise on the subject. It is instead a collection of papers for the practitioner and the novice to gain some understanding of the basis of the ideas behind drives and power electronics by reading the original papers written by the original researchers. These papers are considered to be definitive in the mind of the editor. If you need a complete guide to the analysis of power electronic circuits and drives, this is not the book. I would recommend Principles of Power Electronics by Kassakian et. al. or Power electronics: Converters, Applications and Design, by Mohan et.al. This book is more for the graduate student or the researcher who needs to read the original work in order to move along in their research. This is not for the practically minded trouble shooter or the designer.

AN ACADEMIC TREATISE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Electronics and Variable Frequency Drives: Technology and Applications (Hardcover)
If you are trying to learn about varible frequency drives or how to build them look elsewhere. If you are willing to spend hours looking for a small piece of practical information, this book MIGHT have it. Dicussion of topics is not conducive to an intuitive understanding of the subject.

Not quite there,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Electronics and Variable Frequency Drives: Technology and Applications (Hardcover)
The text has some useful attributes, namely lists of references and wide range of coverage. The problem is that detail is lacked in some of the coverage. Some of the chapters are a bit self-serving to the authors of those chapters. The referenced papers at the end are predominantly papers written by the authors themselves. Seems to not acknowledge techniques and ideas other than their own.
