Question
Download Solution PDFA DC chopper has a resistive load of R = 10 Ω and an input voltage of Vs = 220 V. When the chopper switch remains in the ON state, its voltage drop is Vch = 2 V. If the duty cycle is 50%, determine its average output voltage Vo.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFDC chopper
It is a power electronics device that is used to convert pure DC into pulsating DC.
The average value of output voltage (pulsating value):
where, D is the duty cycle
Calculation
Source voltage (Vs) = 220 V
Vch = 2 V
When the chopper is in an ON state:
When the chopper is in an OFF state:
Vo = 0V
The waveform is given below:
The average value of output voltage is:
