APPLICATION OF HIGH POWER SOLID-STATE ELECTRONICS TO ELECTRIC PROPULSION

The work reported here is concerned with the application of high power electronics to electric propulsion. During the last year the effort has been in two main areas: (1) development of improved high power semi-conductor switches and (2) the development of lightweight, low inductance machines which are well matched to semi-conductor device capabilities.
