• When a switch is on (i.e. ‘ON state’) it may or may not conduct current
depending on the direction of ia
• If a switch conducts current, it is in a conducting state
• Converter has two legs (Leg A & Leg B)

DC – DC Converter Fed Drives
• Operation of DC motor drive depends on:
• Direction of Ia (determined by torque, i.e. motoring or braking)
• Polarity of Va and Ea (determined by speed, i.e. forward or reverse)
• the duty cycle of the DC-DC Converter (either two-quadrant or four-quadrant)
• Open loop control is achieved by changing the duty
cycle manually as and when required
