Two Quadrant Chopper

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…

Chopper Circuit with Input Inductance

Chopper Circuit with Input Inductance: The preceding discussion of the chopper assumes ideal conditions and does not consider the effects of inductances in series with the thyristors. With choppers of…

DC Motor Speed Control

DC Motor Speed Control: In the foregoing sections we discussed the torque-speed characteristics of dc motors, bringing out the effects of armature voltage variation and field current on them. The…

DC Inputs

DC Inputs: The, dc inputs modules commonly available will work with 5, 12, 24 and 48 volts. The DC Inputs modules allow us to connect either PNP (sourcing) or NPN (sinking)…

Synchronous Vibrator and Synchronous Chopper

Synchronous Vibrator and Synchronous Chopper: Low dc current may be transformed into a high voltage dc by simple chopper action. Although an inductive type transformation process is required, the out­put…
