Chopper control for DC motor provides variation in

  • Chopper control for DC motor provides variation in Input voltage.
  •  In this method, a DC voltage is applied to the motor in a series of pulses using a switch called a chopper.
  • The duty cycle of the chopper is varied to control the effective voltage applied to the motor.
  • The chopper operates by turning on and off a DC voltage source in a periodic manner, creating a series of pulses that can be adjusted in terms of their duty cycle (the percentage of time the voltage is applied).
  • By adjusting the duty cycle, the effective voltage applied to the motor can be varied.
  • For example, if the chopper is on 50% of the time, the effective voltage applied to the motor will be half of the input voltage.
