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. 2 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

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. 63 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
64
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 64 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
65
Diode D prevents any current flow from capacitor to the source.

Performance Parameters
Power Electronics Performance Parameters The thyristor requires a certain minimum time to turn ON and turn OFF. Duty cycle d can be varied only between a min. & max. value, limiting the min. and max. value of the output voltage. Ripple in the load current depends inversely on the chopping frequency, f. To reduce the load ripple current, frequency should be as high as possible. 71 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

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. 86 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
87
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. 87 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
88
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. 88 Prof. T.K.

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 . 91 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
92
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. 92 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

Power Electronics Four Quadrant Operation 96 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
97
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. 97 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
98
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. 98 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
99
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. 99 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT

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 116 Prof. T.K.

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. 121 Prof. T.K. Anantha Kumar, E&E Dept., MSRIT
