DYNAMIC MODEL OF CHOPPER FED DC SEPARATELY EXCITED MOTOR

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the transient response of a chopper fed dc separately excited motor using time ratio control. An approximate second order model for predicting the transient behaviour of the motor is developed using perturbation technique. The transient response for small and sudden variations of duty interval and load torque is deduced during discontinuous and continuous current mode operations. The effect of external inductance on the performance of motor in the armature circuit has also been investigated. The results are compared with those obtained from a digital computer by numerically solving the simultaneous differential equations valid for different intervals of chopper cycle and also with the first order model. It is shown that the second order model is more accurate than the first order model and much simpler and efficient than the numerical approach. The theoretical results obtained are also verified with an experimental set up. Experimental results closely agree with theoretical predictions.
