What did you learn from this unit

In this unit we have clearly learnt about the working of Choppers and Inverters. In choppers
we have learnt about continuous mode of operation of choppers and time ratio of the
choppers.
In this unit we have also covered about the different types of inverters and voltage control
techniques for all the different types of inverters.
Was the application illustrated, clear for understanding the topics covered in this unit
Yes, application for each topic is illustrated clearly for understanding the topics covered in this unit.
