[TCML] Outstanding Power Electronics MS Thesis

[sparktron01@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I found this thesis while googling for a part for work last week. This one 
of the best PE papers I've seen in a while. Building a 3kV, 1.5MVA 
regenerative controller for railroad traction with tie to local grid 
sounds like an opportunity for a large explosion, but this individual 
was brilliantly successful in my mind. Lots of good construction hints 
for high voltage, safety interlocking, fiberoptic drivers, etc. And yes 
it was proven capable of up to 1.1MVA utility regen, power was 
restricted by current limiting setpoints which have been subsequently 
corrected. 

Consider this paper the equivalent of "North's High Power Microwave 
Transmitters" for Power Electronics. If I was in the power electronics 
business, I'd be considering his resume! ;^D
