Chopper-Fed DC Motor Drive
This example shows a Chopper-Fed DC Motor Drive.
Description
The DC motor is fed by the DC source through a chopper which consists of GTO thyristor and free-wheeling diode D1. The motor drives a mechanical load characterized by inertia J, friction coeficient B, and load torque TL.
The hysteresis current controller compares the sensed current with the reference and generates the trigger signal for the GTO thyristor to force the motor current to follow the reference. The speed control loop uses a proportional-integral controller which produces the reference for the current loop. Current and Voltage Measurement blocks provide signals for visualization purpose.
