Reversible Drives using Choppers: Using two quadrant choppers a reversible drive can be achieved, because this combination allows reversal of both current and voltage of the motor terminals. We can…
Chopper Fed DC Drives: The variable voltage to the armature of a dc motor for speed control can be obtained from a dc chopper which is a single stage dc…
Thevenin Equivalent Circuit: In many practical applications, it is always not necessary to analyse the complete circuit; it requires that the voltage, current, or power in only one resistance of…
Chopper Controlled Resistance: By interrupting the flow of current through a resistance R in a periodic fashion using a switch, the value of resistance can be effectively varied. The interruption…
Selection of Ratings of Devices of a Chopper Converter: Chopper Converter - The waveforms of currents and voltages are useful in deciding the ratings of devices. The main thyristor carries…
Two Quadrant Chopper: Sometimes a chopper may be required to provide a two quadrant operation by retaining the current direction in both motoring and braking modes. Such a Two Quadrant…
Performance of Chopper in Steady State Condition: Assuming Steady State Condition of the chopper, we have during TON The solution of Eq. 3.89 is where Io is the current at…
DC Chopper: DC Chopper are mainly dc to dc single stage conversion devices which provide a variable voltage on the load side when fed from a constant dc voltage source.…
