Projeto de bancada de eletrônica de potência de baixo custo

Abstract

This work presents the design of a compact and low-cost didactic bench, developed to support practical classes in power electronics at IFPE, Campus Pesqueira. The prototype allows the study of semiconductor devices such as thyristors (SCR), triacs, and diodes. The methodology included the review and comparison of commercial solutions, the specification and sizing of components, as well as the development of firmware for the ESP8266 microcontroller, employing interrupts and timing techniques. The project helps address a gap in engineering education by providing a didactic kit that combines safety and project-based learning. The estimated cost for producing a single unit of the board was R$ 282.81.
