Recent developments in electronics, such as the introduction of                 relatively low cost power switching devices and readily                         applicable microprocessors, are resulting in the widespread                     adoption of power electronic converters and controllers.                        Consequently the emphasis of electrical energy conversion                       education must adapt to reflect these changes.  This project                    proposes to introduce contemporary display and recording                        techniques to undergraduate classes.  For subjective exposure to                the phenomena of voltages and currents with high harmonic                       content, current probes which respond faithfully to signals from                dc to high frequency are required, together with appropriate                    oscilloscopes for display, capture and storage.                                 Measurements of true r.m.s. values now require special meters                   which respond correctly to non-sinusoidal ac and distorted dc                   components.  Finally, transducers based on Hall-effect devices                  are needed for measurements to determine true power and power                   factor.  It is the aim of this project to provide undergraduates                with hands-on experience in this rapidly changing and highly                    important area.
