A d.c. chopper circuit connected to a 100 V d.c. source supplies an inductive load having 40 mH in series with a resistance of 5 Ω A freewheeling diode is placed across the load. The load current varies between the limits of 10 A and 12 A. The time ratio (Ton/Toff) of the chopper is
The average value of load current
The maximum value of load current
Now, the average value of the voltage is
Also, 
or,

A step-up chopper is used to deliver load voltage of 500 V from a 220 V d.c. source. If the blocking period of the thyristor is 80 μs, the required pulse width is
Given, \/s = 220V, V0 = 500V
and Toff = 80 μs
For a step-up chopper, output voltage is
or, 
or, 
or,
or, 25 Ton = 14 Ton + 14 Toff
or, 11 Ton = 14 Toff

A 220 V dc shunt motor runs at 1500 rpm at no-load. The motor is fed through a type-A chopper. If the armature resistance is 1 Ω and duty cycle of chopper is 60%, the speed of the motor when it draw a current of 20 A would be approximately equal to
The output voltage,
V0 = αVs = 0.6 x 220 - 132 V
∴ Back emf
At no- load, N1, = 1500 rpm and Eb1 = 220 V Now, Eb α N
∴ 
or, 
or, 
If the motor in the previous problem is driven by an active load at 1710 rpm, then the type of chopper suitable for speed control and its duty cycle for an input voltage of 250 V will be respectively
As the motor is running at 1710 rpm its back emf is
Since
therefore current flows in the reverse direction and hence second quadrant chopper will be used with the motor.
Now, 
= 230.8 volt
Also, V0 = (1 - α) Vs
or, 230.8 = (1 - α) x 250
or, 1 - α = 0.9232 or α = 0.0768
or, α = 7.68% = 7.7%
A four-quadrant chopper is driving a separately excited dc motor load. The motor parameters are R = 0.1 Ω, L = 10 mH. The supply voltage is 200 V d.c. If the rated current of the motor is 10 A with Eb = 150 V and motor is driving the rated torque, then it is operating under
For a four-quadrant chopper, the average voltage in all the four-modes is given by
V0 = 2 Vs (α - 0.5)
The average curreni,
or, 
or, α = 0.877
Since α > 0.5, the motor is operating undi
forward motorina mode.
A single-quadrant type A chopper is operating with the following specifications:
Ideal battery of 220 V;
on-time ton - 1 ms;
off-time foff = 1.5 ms
The ripple and form factors will be respectively given by
For a type-A chopper, average output voltage
Match List-1 (Chopper circuit) with List-II (Characteristic) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
Codes:
• Type-A chopper is also called “step-down chopper” as average output voltage V0 is always less than the input dc voltage Vs.
• Type-B chopper is also called “step-up chopper” as load voltage 
which is more than source voltage Vs.
• Type-C chopper configuration is suitable for motoring and degenerative braking of dc motors.
• Type-D chopper characteristic is shown below
Consider the following statements:
1. DC chopper can be used in both dc and ac drives.
2. For four-quadrant operation dual converter is required.
3. Output voltage from a chopper circuit depends both on load current and duty cycle
4. In a step-down source, current can be discontinuous if duty cycle is low.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
• DC choppers can be used in only dc drives.
• Output voltage from a chopper circuit depends only on duty cycle and is independent of load current.
Hence, statements 1 and 3 are not correct.
For the type-A chopper shown below, the voltage drop across the chopper when it is on is 2 volt. If the duty cycle is 0.4, then the chopper efficiency would be approximately equal to
Given, Vs = 230 V
Load resistance, RL = 10Ω α = 0.4
When chopper is ON,
output voltage = (Vs - 2) volt
When chopper is OFF, output voltage = 0 volt
