Course Description

"Ultimate Power Electronics and Electrical Protection for Electrical Engineering"

This magnificent 51-hour course will help you have a kick start in power electronics including rectifiers, AC choppers, DC choppers, and inverters. In addition to the basics of electrical protection such as overcurrent protection, differential protection, distance protection, circuit breakers, and fuses.


Throughout the power electronics course, you will learn:

  • The applications of power electronics and the definition of a power electronic circuit.

  • Different types of switches such as diodes, thyristors, GTO, BJT, IGBT, Mosfet, etc.

  • The different AC/DC converters (rectifiers) such as half-wave and full-wave rectifier single-phase circuits in uncontrolled, half, and fully controlled bridges. In addition to the different three-phase rectifier circuits.

  • AC chopper circuits or AC/AC converters in the case of R load, L load, RL parallel, RL series load, and capacitive loads. In addition to the integral cycle control of an AC chopper.

  • DC choppers or DC/DC converters such as the step-down DC chopper with R and R-L-E load, and the step-up DC chopper with R, RL, and RE loads. Moreover, the buck, boost, and buck-boost regulator circuits.

  • Inverter or DC/AC converters including single-phase half-bridge R-load, single-phase half-bridge RL-load, single-phase bridge inverter R-load, single-phase bridge inverter RL-load, and the three-phase inverters. Furthermore, the single, multiple, and sinusoidal pulse width modulations.


You will learn also the simulation using the MATLAB Simulink program:


  • Single-phase half-wave controlled and bridge-controlled rectifiers.

  • Single-phase AC chopper with R and RL load

  • DC-DC converters such as buck, boost, and buck-boost regulators.

  • Single-phase half-bridge, bridge inverters, and three-phase inverters.



Throughout the electrical protection course, you will learn:


  • The different components of the electrical protection system, zones of protection, the trip circuit of the electrical system, the primary and backup protection, and the fault clearing time.

  • The different types of relays such as directional power relays, overcurrent relays, distance relays, plain impedance relays, directional impedance relays, modified impedance-type distance relays, reactance-type distance relays, Mho or admittance distance relays, and more.

  • The principle of operation and selection of low-voltage circuit breakers

  • The principle of operation of earth leakage circuit breaker or residual current CB

  • The selection of medium voltage circuit breakers

  • The types of low voltage and high voltage fuses

  • Sizing of breakers, fuses, and disconnecting switches for motors, non-motor applications, and much more according to the NEC


In addition to the LogixPro course:


This is the only course out there that can teach you the basics of PLC programming with fun and awesome simulations.

Logixpro program is an interesting and useful simulator for the simulation of different procedures such as moving belts, garage openings, and closing, a mixer that consists of a tank in addition to some pipes of different liquids, and many more!

This program helps learn ladder programming and PLC with an easy and interactive simulation method.



Bonus Gift:


​You will also get the slides for the Ultimate Power Electronics and Protection bundle for those who are interested in them or having them as a revision for themselves


  • More than 250 Pages of Rectifiers and Basics of Power Electronics

  • 45 Pages of AC Choppers

  • 78 Pages of DC Choppers

  • 90 Pages of Inverters

I discovered new things I didn't know before, such as the HVDC systems, that allow the transmission of power in different frequencies from one country to another.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kurs und dem Lehrer. Das ist mein zweiter Kurs, den ich gerne besuche. Alles wird Schritt für Schritt deutlich erklärt.

By Jorge B Jiménez on 9/1/2025

An excellent course, covering virtually everything necessary to enter the world of power electronics professionally. Actual application videos for some of the sections were missed.

By Augustine Aaron on 8/9/2024

it is always interesting in learning from Engineer Amhed Mahdy. i am looking forward to buy his course on matlab, PLC form United engineering. But Engineer Ahmed Mahdy course is just do good

By Karim Usama on 5/14/2023

It is too academic, The instructor focuses on the academic part (the one we studied in college) with all its complexities and trying to simplify it down in alot of explanation, it will be a much more productive to have the practical approach (The one we use in our work), the course will be much simpler, shorter and to the point

By Volker Keil on 10/30/2020

Good learning experience with detailed equations, recommend this course for anyone who's want to be a professional in this area. Only real complaint I have is the click noises every time the pen is used, which is a bit irritating to me.

By Chinmoy on 7/31/2020

Very lucid and to the point subject disseration. Thank you. Helped me from Mechanical Engg background to understand and converse on Power Electronic topics.

By Nancy Praveen Nattala on 4/17/2020

i enjoyed learning with the instructor as well as udemy. The content is excellent and delivery is great. You can be a veteran from scratch from this course. But it would be great if udemy could have an interactive support team. thank you udemy.

By Anonymized User on 3/27/2020

i was experienced that the power electronic are the very interesting course used in our dairy life of electrical engineering, once again thank you very much to you all lecture

By Zikhona Ntuku on 10/3/2019

I chose this course because i have basics of it, i completed NCV4 in electrical infrastructure and construction and N6 in electrical engineering.
