Power Electronics Review

[sam314159]

I went through the NCEES sample exam and I feel pretty comfortable with most topics except power electronics. I am probably struggling with it since I rarely use it at work.

Can anyone think of a decent reference to help me brush up on the topic?

May seem campy, but this will help (it did for me):

Honestly, lots of good info there about peak detectors, clampers, clippers, rectifiers, multipliers, etc. Read through all those sections. Heck, print 'em out and bring 'em with you. By digging in to those circuits, you'll be able to quickly identify what type of circuit you're dealing with and you'll know about what it should do.
