The topics we have addressed so far – powercircuits, control, and components – do not coverall the issues encountered in designing a powerelectronic system. Among those we have deferredare: (i) providing gate and base drives to thepower semiconductor switches; (ii) using forcedcommutation to turn off SCRs; (iii) controllingthe transient voltages and currents that accompanyswitching in practical circuits; (iv) contendingwith EMI created by fast switching waveforms; and(v) providing a thermal environment that allowssystem components to operate within theirtemperature ratings. We address these five topicsin Part IV.
