Hardware for Power Electronics and Electronic Drives Lab Curriculum

Vishay is a proud provider of the hardware for the Power Electronics Lab, based on the approach in the textbook Power Electronics: Converters, Applications and Design, written by Ned Mohan, Tore M. Undeland, and William P. Robbins; and the Electric Drives Lab based, on the approach in the textbook Electric Machines and Drives: A First Course by Ned Mohan. Both textbooks are published by Wiley & Sons. More information on these textbooks can be found at www.wiley/college/mohan.

The University of Minnesota website www.cusp.umn.edu is a great resource for information on the Vishay products, other related lab equipment and software, lab manuals, curriculum, and contact information for each of the equipment / software suppliers.
