Application of Chopper

  1. Speed control of DC Motor.
  2. Positional control in robotics.
  3. Regulated power supply (SMPS).
  4. Input to Inverter.
  5. Solar Power Converter.

Step Down Chopper

  • CH: – fully controlled switch
  • Operation: – Periodic
  • Time period: – T
  • Duty cycle: – Ton/T
  • Ton = DT
  • CH: – ON           Vo=Vs
  • CH: – OFF          Io=0/Vo=0

Buck Converter

Fig. 3 Buck Converter

S1 :- Fully Controlled Switch -MOSFET(high frequency)/IGBT/SCR + Commutation Circuit

S2:- Uncontrolled Switch – provides free wheeling action (due to L)

DC Motor load – Step down chopper with a freewheeling diode.

Fig. 4 (a) Buck Converter
  • SW:-ON  (0<t<DT)
  • Vo = Vs
  • Vs =
  • L :- charging
Fig. 4 (b) Buck Converter
  •  SW :- OFF (DT<t<T)
  • 0=
  • L:- discharging

  • Current can become 0 for finite duration of time.
  • Boundary :- When current only for an instant of time.
