If the duty cycle is 50%, determine: a) Average output voltage b) RMS output voltage c) Chopper efficiency d) The effective input resistance of the chopper
Question: A step down DC chopper has a resistive load of R = 15 ohm and input Vdc = 200 V. When the chopper remain ON, it's voltage drop is 2.5V. The chopper frequency is 1 kHz. If the duty cycle is 50%, determine: a) Average output voltage b) RMS output voltage c) Chopper efficiency d) The effective input resistance of the chopper Answer: We can get answers directly by applying relevant formulas as shown below. (a) Average output voltage = 98.75 V (b) RMS output voltage = 139.6536 V (c) Chopper efficiency = 98.75% (d) The effective input resistance = 30.3799 ohm Additional information : Waveforms for step down chopper are shown below : For any queries regarding above solution please comment below.
