ME POWER ELECTRONICS AND DRIVES PREVIOUS YEARS QUESTION PAPERS

POWER ELECTRONICS AND DRIVES...

Electronics deals with semiconductor devices & circuits at different power levels.It include generation,transmission & distribution.
                               Where as Power Electronics is wide. Almost all companies like ABB,Reliance,Philips,Astom,L&T... all requires engineers to design and analyze them.
Study of Power Electronics mainly focused to made a highly and passionate Electrical Engineer with intensive knowledge in Power Electronics,Machines, Drives & new technologies.power electronics span a wide range on the power scales such as Milli-watts in wireless personal communication,megawatts in high voltage dc transmission systems and huge industrial motor drives.

                          When you are in this field you must be a problem solver.You must be passionate about yourself and also aims Maximum in Academic Performance.

Referring Old question papers is an easiest methods to Score.Helps to understand Important questions and different ways of twist in questions.By referring we can see that many different questions are asking repeatedly in one way or another.In many problematic questions,value may change but pattern remains the same.I think notes provided here helps you to score much.Scoring depends on how you perform, and make use of the curriculum. 
                                  
If you are more adept in using  tools, and have interests in the big picture of electricity
