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…
Regenerative Braking: Sometimes the energy of the load may have to be fed to the supply system. A Chopper in this mode is called regenerative. The chopper working as a…
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 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.…
Four Quadrants Converters: Four Quadrants Converters - The converters described in the previous sections are suitable either for one quadrant or two quadrant operation. In the former case stepless speed…
Sequence control of Converters: Sequence control of Converters - We have shown that fully controlled converters take lagging reactive power from the mains. This requirement is less in half controlled…
Three phase half controlled bridge circuit: This is obtained by a series connection of a 3 pulse controlled converter and a 3 pulse uncontrolled one. The three arms of the…
