Line-Commutated and Active PWM

This document provides details about the Bachelor of Technology course in Electrical Engineering on the subject of Line-Commutated and Active PWM Rectifiers. The course is offered in the semester, is worth 3 credits, and involves 3 hours of theory classes and 1 hour of practical classes per week. The course objectives are to analyze controlled rectifier circuits, understand the operation of line-commutated rectifiers and PWM rectifiers in different modes including rectification and regeneration. The course is divided into 5 units covering topics like diode and thyristor rectifiers with passive filtering, multi-pulse converters, single-phase and 3-phase ac-dc boost converters. Student evaluation includes continuous weightage assessment, mid-semester exam and
