A small electric vehicle is powered by a 96V battery and uses a series wound
motor. It has a step-down chopper for forward drive and a step-up chopper for
regenerative braking. The total armature resistance is 0.1 D, and the armature

voltage constant is 10m V/A-rad/s. Descending a hill in regeneration mode the
motor speed is 1000rev/min and the armature current is a constant average
value of 80A.
Calculate the value of the duty cycle required and the available braking
power.
Solution
E = oJ k v I , v = (1000 � 2rd60) � 10 -2 X 80 = 84V
Vav = E - IavR = 84 - (40 � 0.1) = 80V
Vav = Vb(1 - O )
O = 1 - (Vav/Vb) = 1 -- (80/96) = 0.17
P = Vav � = 80 � 80 = 6.4kW
