DC SERIES MOTOR

It consists of a stationary field and

rotating armature through which
the supply current flows and
produce torque and rotation.

Problems
A boost chopper is used to provide 48V across a 12
load from 12V solar panel. The chopper inductance is
10H and the chopper frequency is set to 100 kHz.
Neatly draw and label the basic circuit diagram for this
converter.[2]
Using diagrams where necessary, explain the operation
and formulation of output voltage for the converter. [6]
Formulate the equation for output voltage and the
variation battery currents of the converter. [8]
Compute the on-time of the chopper, the variation of
current during switching and the average battery
currents.[9]
