Study Notes
4-Quadrant DC Chopper
- The 4-digit binary number (x1x2x3x4)2 represents the chopper state, with a total of 16 possible states.
- Only states 0, 1, 4, 6, and 9 are utilized, as the remaining states would either short-circuit the supply source or spoil the symmetry of control.
First Quadrant Operation
- ON state: S1 and S4 are ON, represented by state 9 (1001)2.
- OFF state: only S4 is ON, represented by state 1 (0001)2.
Quadrant Operation Modes
- Four modes of operation: first, second, third, and fourth quadrants.
Example Problem
- A four-quadrant chopper operates with a switching frequency of 1kHz and supplies power to a dc motor with an armature EMF of –216 V.
- Input voltage of the chopper is 240 V.
Control Range and Time Calculations
- Voltage control ranges for the third and fourth quadrants of operation depend on the magnitude control ratio.
- ON-time and OFF-time of the modulating switch can be calculated for specific magnitude control ratios in each quadrant.
- Example:
- Third quadrant operation with magnitude control ratio of –0.95.
- Fourth quadrant operation with magnitude control ratio of –0.75.
