The book is clearly written by an expert in power electronics but has a lot of limitations. The first point is the abundant lack of explanations of equations, assuming that the reader is already familiar with power electronics - hard for undergraduate students. The second failure is that the part on power circuits is very limited and power semiconductors are treated very superficially. In general, a good reference for those who already know power electronics.

From the Inside Flap
Since its publication in 1989, each edition has strived to present a cohesive presentation of power electronics fundamentals for applications and design in the power range where there is demand in industry for power electronic engineers. A CD-ROM has been added to this edition, which readers will find useful in the exploration of power electronics and use of this text. The CD-ROM contains:
* A large number of new end-of-chapter problems with varying degrees of difficulty.
* PSpice(r) -based simulation examples to illustrate basic concepts and help in the design of converters. PSpice(r) is an ideal simulation tool for this purpose.
* A newly developed magnetic component design program. This program is extremely useful in showing design trade-offs, for example, the influence of switching frequency on the size of inductors and transformers.
* PowerPoint-based slides for all chapters that help summarize topics throughout the text.
The text also explores industrial and commercial applications, as well as practical aspects of power electronic converter design, such as snubber circuits, drive circuits, circuit layout, and heat sinks. Please visit http://www.wiley.com/college/mohan for additional information.

TommasoReviewed in Italy on 24 March 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars ECCEZIONALE.
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseOltre al fatto che il libro è un must per ogni corso di elettronica di potenza (specialmente la versione in Inglese: cambia parecchio da quella italiana), la scelta di prenderlo qui su Amazon si è rivelata vincente; in 2 giorni ho ricevuto il prodotto, perfettamente integro e rispondente alle caratteristiche immagini riportate sul sito. Ultimo pregio, il costo; quasi un terzo del costo applicato in libreria, senza contare la settimana (per essere ottimisti) di attesa che mi era stata promessa!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Textbook!
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseUsed this book along with Daniel Hart's book to teach myself power electronics. I found this book an excellent book to learn Power Electronics basics and to use Pspice to do PE simulations.

4.0 out of 5 stars O livro é ótimo
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseO livro é uma ótima fonte de pesquisa, de verdade, mas tem ainda um erro no capítulo 4, em um dos desenhos de forma de onda da tensão no capacitor, se não me engano, mas acredito que isso foi um erro de impressão porque não vi isso na edição anterior. Novamente, quero frizar que foi uma ótima aquisição.

統一的な見解でパワーエレクトロニクスの種々の変換器を解説しているため
読みやすく、新入社員のみならず企業で実績を積んでいる実践派技術者にとっても
価値のある一冊です。英語レベルに依りますが私は辞書が必要な難しい英単語は殆どないと感じました。
基礎的な内容のため時代と共に変化する流行りの変換器などは解説していませんが、それらの
