Experiment - 2: Aim Apparatus Required

This experiment aims to study speed control of a DC motor using a chopper. The apparatus required includes MATLAB Simulink and a 10HP DC machine. A chopper converts fixed DC input voltage to variable DC output voltage for smooth speed control of DC motors. The experiment involves simulating a chopper circuit in MATLAB to observe how the armature current, speed, and torque of a DC motor change at different chopper duty cycles. Plots will show that increasing the duty cycle increases the mean speed of the motor.

Experiment - 2

Aim​: ​To study the chopper-based speed control of dc drives. 

Apparatus Required:
. MATLAB Simulink version 2018a 
1​
2. DC Machine (10HP; 240V; 1750RPM; Field:300V) 

Theory:
●  ​A  chopper  is  a  static  power  electronic  device  that 
converts  fixed  dc  ​input  voltage  to  a  variable  dc  output 
voltage.  It  can  be  step  up  or  ​step  down.  It  is  also 
considered  as  a  dc  equivalent  of  an  ac  t​ransformer 
since they behave in an identical manner. 
●  Chopper  systems  offer  smooth  control,  high  efficiency, 
faster  ​response  and  regeneration  facility.  The  power 
semiconductor  devices  ​used  for  a  chopper  circuit  can  be 
force  commutated  with  thyristor,  BJT,  ​MOSFET,  IGBT  and 
GTO.  Among  the  above  switches,  IGBT  and  GTO  ​are 
widely used. 
●  One  of  the  popular  methods  of  speed  control  of  DC 
motors  is  using  a  ​chopper.  ​Chopper  is  a  device  that 
gives  variable  DC  output  from  ​applied  fixed  DC  input​. ​It 
simply chops fixed DC and generates​ v
​ ariable DC.

60  240  1  2.34  130.3  2.53 


MATLAB Plots:

Plot 1-For 50% Duty Cycle 


Mean Speed = 109.4 rad/sec  
 
Plot 2-For 60% Duty Cycle 
Mean Speed = 130.3 rad/sec 

Conclusion:
As duty ratio increases the mean speed increases.
