Abstract

Technological advances in power electronics have not been accompanied by advances in power electronics training kits. Training kits are necessary for student competency to be achieved. This article proposes a buck converter training kit. This kit is innovatively designed to support in-depth and effective experimentation in the power electronics laboratory. This training kit is unique because it is equipped with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The training kit is also developed using Visual Studio, offering interactive and intuitive control over experimental variables in real-time. The principle and characteristics of the buck converter can be easily understood by students due to the built-in measuring instruments. According to the experiment's results, this training kit can be used in a variety of conditions, and it is valid and effective enough to be used as a buck converter learning aid. This training kit is cost-effective, user-friendly, and designed for hands-on lab sessions that combine practical and theoretical knowledge. © 2025 Seventh Sense Research Group®.
