Power electronics equipment are complex assemblies. Most of the components we use are off-the-shelf, standard parts: transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, and connectors. For low-volume production power converters or
The potential benefits of electrified aircraft propulsion (EAP) on fuel efficiency, emissions, and noise are well documented [1], [2]. Among various configurations considered, the turboelectric configuration with dc distribution has
In my previous column, Buckapalooza—Part I, I talked about how as an independent consultant I often design ac–dc power supplies for lower production volume applications using an off-the-shelf front-end power
