Design and Development of Single Board Multipurpose Power Converter

Abstract: The project presents the development of a multipurpose single board for hands-on power electronics education lab session focusing on power electronics applications. We are trying to apply advanced methods for circuit designs of AC to DC converter and DC to DC converter and an AC to DC converter. The power conversion classification involves AC to DC as a rectifier, DC to AC as an inverter, DC to DC as a chopper. These converters are used to convert voltage from AC to DC (or) from DC to AC and also to step up and to step down the voltage and also to control frequency. The objective is to stimulate the transferring of theory to practical purposes, and to provide hands-on experiences for the development of power electronic systems. The main aim of this project is to obtain a power using power electronics different converters on a single board.
