In order to implement the evidence-based learning approach, the power electronic course run by the Department of Electrical, Electronics and System, Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, UKM was divided into three complementary phases. The first phase begins with learning the theories of power electronics topics such as rectifier circuit etc. in the classroom; the second phase is learning to design, model and simulate the rectifier circuit using a dedicated software tool; and the last phase is learning to develop the rectifier circuit hardware and to investigate the circuit’s characteristics in the laboratory. As a result, students understood the lesson on rectifier circuit better than if they had only been introduced to theory alone or a combination of both theory and computer simulation lessons as they have undertaken all specified phases step by step.

An SRM drive system has to be designed so that there is integration between the machine and the converter-controller configuration. This paper focuses on the resistor dump converter topology where most of the energy from the windings is dissipated in a resistor. A detailed analysis and simulation of the converter has been conducted and a design guideline for the proposed converter is laid out. The resistor dump converter has a low component count and this enables it to achieve a low cost converter. Simulation results show that for the resistor dump converter additional snubbers are required. This leads to an increase in complexity of the controller as more parameters need to be considered. Also, the addition of the passive components of the snubber makes the circuit less reliable and costly. For the purpose of just looking into detail on the behaviour of the converter, it is...
