2 Introduction Chopper is a static device.
Power Electronics Introduction Chopper is a static device. A variable dc voltage is obtained from a constant dc voltage source. Also known as dc-to-dc converter. Widely used for motor control. Also used in regenerative braking. Thyristor converter offers greater efficiency, faster response, lower maintenance, smaller size and smooth control. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 2 Prof. T.K.

19 When chopper is ON, supply is connected across load.
Power Electronics When chopper is ON, supply is connected across load. Current flows from supply to load. When chopper is OFF, load current continues to flow in the same direction through FWD due to energy stored in inductor ‘L’. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 19 Prof. T.K.

23 When the chopper is ON, the inductor L is connected across the supply.
Power Electronics Step-up chopper is used to obtain a load voltage higher than the input voltage V. The values of L and C are chosen depending upon the requirement of output voltage and current. When the chopper is ON, the inductor L is connected across the supply. The inductor current ‘I’ rises and the inductor stores energy during the ON time of the chopper, tON.

24 Therefore voltage across load is given by
Power Electronics When the chopper is off, the inductor current I is forced to flow through the diode D and load for a period, tOFF. The current tends to decrease resulting in reversing the polarity of induced EMF in L. Therefore voltage across load is given by MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 24 Prof. T.K.

38 During the ON period of the chopper, the inductance L stores energy.
Power Electronics When chopper is ON, E drives a current through L and R in a direction opposite to that shown in figure. During the ON period of the chopper, the inductance L stores energy. When Chopper is OFF, diode D conducts, and part of the energy stored in inductor L is returned to the supply. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 38 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

42 Class C Chopper is a combination of Class A and Class B Choppers.
Power Electronics Class C Chopper is a combination of Class A and Class B Choppers. For first quadrant operation, CH1 is ON or D2 conducts. For second quadrant operation, CH2 is ON or D1 conducts. When CH1 is ON, the load current is positive. The output voltage is equal to ‘V’ & the load receives power from the source. When CH1 is turned OFF, energy stored in inductance L forces current to flow through the diode D2 and the output voltage is zero. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 42 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

43 Current continues to flow in positive direction.
Power Electronics Current continues to flow in positive direction. When CH2 is triggered, the voltage E forces current to flow in opposite direction through L and CH2 . The output voltage is zero. On turning OFF CH2 , the energy stored in the inductance drives current through diode D1 and the supply Output voltage is V, the input current becomes negative and power flows from load to source. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 43 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

44 Average output voltage is positive
Power Electronics Average output voltage is positive Average output current can take both positive and negative values. Choppers CH1 & CH2 should not be turned ON simultaneously as it would result in short circuiting the supply. Class C Chopper can be used both for dc motor control and regenerative braking of dc motor. Class C Chopper can be used as a step-up or step-down chopper.

Power Electronics Class D Chopper MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 46 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

47 Class D is a two quadrant chopper.
Power Electronics Class D is a two quadrant chopper. When both CH1 and CH2 are triggered simultaneously, the output voltage vO = V and output current flows through the load. When CH1 and CH2 are turned OFF, the load current continues to flow in the same direction through load, D1 and D2 , due to the energy stored in the inductor L. Output voltage vO = - V . MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 47 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

48 Average output voltage becomes negative if tON < tOFF .
Power Electronics Average load voltage is positive if chopper ON time is more than the OFF time Average output voltage becomes negative if tON < tOFF . Hence the direction of load current is always positive but load voltage can be positive or negative. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 48 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

52 Four Quadrant Operation
Power Electronics Four Quadrant Operation MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 52 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

53 Class E is a four quadrant chopper
Power Electronics Class E is a four quadrant chopper When CH1 and CH4 are triggered, output current iO flows in positive direction through CH1 and CH4, and with output voltage vO = V. This gives the first quadrant operation. When both CH1 and CH4 are OFF, the energy stored in the inductor L drives iO through D2 and D3 in the same direction, but output voltage vO = -V. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 53 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

54 Therefore the chopper operates in the fourth quadrant.
Power Electronics Therefore the chopper operates in the fourth quadrant. When CH2 and CH3 are triggered, the load current iO flows in opposite direction & output voltage vO = -V. Since both iO and vO are negative, the chopper operates in third quadrant. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 54 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

55 Power Electronics When both CH2 and CH3 are OFF, the load current iO continues to flow in the same direction D1 and D4 and the output voltage vO = V. Therefore the chopper operates in second quadrant as vO is positive but iO is negative. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 55 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

56 Effect Of Source & Load Inductance
Power Electronics Effect Of Source & Load Inductance The source inductance should be as small as possible to limit the transient voltage. Also source inductance may cause commutation problem for the chopper. Usually an input filter is used to overcome the problem of source inductance. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 56 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

57 Peak load current depends on load inductance.
Power Electronics The load ripple current is inversely proportional to load inductance and chopping frequency. Peak load current depends on load inductance. To limit the load ripple current, a smoothing inductor is connected in series with the load. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 57 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

79 Capacitor starts discharging in reverse direction.
Power Electronics Capacitor has been overcharged i.e. its voltage is above supply voltage. Capacitor starts discharging in reverse direction. Hence capacitor current becomes negative. The capacitor discharges through LS, VS, FWD, D1 and L. When this current reduces to zero D1 will stop conducting and the capacitor voltage will be same as the supply voltage MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS 79 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

83 Power Electronics Disadvantages A starting circuit is required and the starting circuit should be such that it triggers thyristor T2 first. Load voltage jumps to almost twice the supply voltage when the commutation is initiated. The discharging and charging time of commutation capacitor are dependent on the load current and this limits high frequency operation, especially at low load current.

In phase operation All the parallel connected choppers are on and off at the same instant. Input current i = i1 +i2 is doubled. Operation is equivalent to a single chopper operation. Frequency of harmonics in the input current = 1/T (Switching frequency of each chopper). MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS

100 Phase shifted operation
Different choppers are ON and OFF at different instansts of time. For α=30 % chopper 1 is ON for 0.3T from t=0,chopper 2 is made ON such that i1+i2 is periodic in nature. Frequency of ‘i’ is doubled and its ripple current amplitude [Imax –Imin] is halved. Frequency of harmonics in the input current is 2 x 1/T. Size of filter is reduced as a result, making phase-shifted operation of multiphase choppers the most preferred. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS

102 i for phase shifted operation is continuous and without any ripples.
I is continuous with a pedestal of 0.5 Io *Multiphase choppers are used where large load current is required. MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS

103 Extra commutation circuits Additional external inductors
Advantage: Input current has reduced ripple amplitude and increased ripple frequency. As a consequence the size of the filter is reduced. Disadvantage: Extra commutation circuits Additional external inductors Complexity in the control logic MH1032/brsr/A.Y /pe/DC CHOPPERS
