Role of power electronics and drivers Power controlling using electronics consider here Signal controlling is consider about controlling information Power electronics is about control of power electronically. Range of power can extend from some fraction of watt to several mega watts (MW). Drives are about the control of mechanical motion. It can be a linear motion, rotary motion or their combination. There is a greater compatibility between power electronics and drives as the former can provide smart control of power for the drives. This is evident from the varieties of fascinating motion control systems we find today. There are several terms used in the context f motion control. Motion control systems Mechatronic systems Drive systems Adjustable speed drive systems Servo drive systems Motion control system is the name used in west (Europe) to represent the low power drives (Computer pheripherals, home appliances...etc) upto several KW. Mechatronics system is the name used ...
