Power electronics have become an essential part of our lives.  These components perform conversions of electrical signals for small to large equipment.  Without them, some of our everyday tasks would not be possible.

Discussion Question

Find five different examples of power electronics and explain the function(s) each performs.  Include any applicable ratings, along with an explanation of the conversion being accomplished.

When responding to another student’s original post, either compare and contrast your examples with theirs, or add to the student’s post by discussing information they might have missed.
