    The document discusses the key performance parameters and limitations of a step-up chopper circuit. It notes that the thyristor requires a minimum time to turn on and off, limiting the range of the duty cycle and output voltage. It also states that ripple in the load current is inversely proportional to the chopping frequency, so higher frequencies reduce ripple. It then presents a sample problem calculating the conduction period of a thyristor in a chopper circuit operating at 2 kHz to provide 350V to a load from a 460V supply.

    Lecture-28 Principle of Step-up Chopper

    Performance Parameters
    • The thyristor requires a certain minimum time to turn ON and turn OFF.
    • Duty cycle d can be varied only between a min. & max. value, limiting the min. and max.
    Value of the output voltage.
    • Ripple in the load current depends inversely on the chopping frequency, f.
    • To reduce the load ripple current, frequency should be as high as possible.

    Problem
    1. A Chopper circuit is operating on TRC at a frequency of 2 kHz on a 460 V supply. If the
    load voltage is 350 volts, calculate the conduction period of the thyristor in each cycle.
