Special branch of Electronics Engineering in which
ratings of components will be much higher may
be in hundred Amperes or thousand voltages
EASY ENGINEERING
 Smaller current &
voltage
 Deals with small
components
 Generally up to very low
voltage say 40V
 Deals with very big
amount of current &
voltage
 Big components
 Threat to life so more
protection required
EASY ENGINEERING
 Carry information
 or control signal
 Transmits power
EASY ENGINEERING
 1. AC TO DC (Rectifier)
EASY ENGINEERING
2. DC TO AC (Inverter)
Converts DC to AC
Mostly used with Solar power generators
EASY ENGINEERING
3. DC TO DC (Chopper)
Used for DC to Variable DC to control load
EASY ENGINEERING
4. AC TO AC (Cyclo converter)
Used to change frequency in AC power
EASY ENGINEERING
5 SWITCH
SCR offers HIGH resistance in OFF condition
And LOW resistance in ON condition
