            Abstract : 
This paper presents an improved and cost effective methodology for power loss measurement in power electronic switches. The suggested methodology improves the speed and the accuracy of the measurement, using a digital oscilloscope and a specialized current probe for the data acquisition and MATLAB programming for loss calculation.
