Laboratory of Power Electronics

The laboratory is intended for the design, implementation, simulation, and measurement of control and power electronic circuits. It is equipped with oscilloscopes, adjustable DC and AC power supplies, programmable electronic loads, power analyzers, signal generators, and the OrCAD PSpice simulation software package. In addition, it provides the basic infrastructure for the fabrication of control and power printed circuit boards (PCBs), including UV exposure equipment, an etching unit, and a soldering station. The laboratory offers state‑of‑the‑art equipment not only for teaching purposes, but also for final theses, semester projects, and research activities.
