Name of the Experiment: Design of Buck (Step-Down) Converter using PSIM

Theory:
Buck Chopper circuit can be called Step-Down Chopper and it means
way that output voltage is to be less than input voltage.
First, if chopper CH is on, current im1 (+ power supply current is) flows through
the E,-CH-L-load-Es path output voltage Eab = Es since voltage is applied from
supply to load. Next, if chopper CH is off, current im2, flows through L - load -
D-L path by accumulative energy in L

Precautions:
1. Open PSIM and construct the circuit.
2. Select values and apply the gate pulse.
3. Create simulation profile and run simulation for 10 seconds
4. Observe the output voltage
5. Repeat the simulation for different duty cycles
