4. 1-Quadrant choppers Buck converter (step down chopper) Continuous load current Discontinuous load current Load voltage for continuous load current case: Load voltage for discontinuous load current case: Load current transistor time: Load current diode time:

5. 1-Quadrant choppers Example 1: The Buck converter is working with the R + L + U i type of the load. The duty cycle of the converter (z) is 15% and the switching frequency (f) is 200Hz. Evaluate the U AV load voltage for these cases: (U = 100V, U i = 20V) 1)Continuous load current 2)Bypass diode conducting time is T/3. Solution: 1) 2)
