    This document describes an impulse commutated chopper circuit. It has the following key components and operating modes: 1. It uses thyristors and a capacitor to regulate voltage from a DC source to a load. 2. It operates in four modes - the capacitor charges and discharges to turn thyristors on and off, regulating voltage to the load. 3. When the auxiliary thyristor is triggered, it turns off the main thyristor and allows the capacitor to charge in the opposite direction, bringing the output voltage to zero before repeating the cycle.

    Impulse Commutated

    Chopper

    System)
    Impulse Commutated Chopper
    • Impulse commutated choppers are widely used in high power circuits where load
    fluctuation is not large.
    • This chopper is also known as
    1. Parallel capacitor turn-off chopper
    2. Voltage commutated chopper
    3. Classical chopper.

    • To start the circuit, capacitor ‘C’ is initially charged


    with polarities as marked by triggering the thyristor
    TA.
    • Capacitor ‘C’ gets charged through VS, C, TA and load.
    • As the charging current decays to zero thyristor TA
    will be turned-off.
    • With capacitor charged with the polarities as marked in
    Figure-1,the circuit is ready for its operation.
    • For convenience the chopper operation is divided into four modes.

    1. Mode 1 operation:

    • Thyristor T1 is fired at t = 0.
    • The supply voltage comes across the load.
    • Load current Io flows through T1 and load.
    • At the same time capacitor discharges through C,T1,L and
    D and the capacitor reverses its voltage.
    • This reverse voltage on capacitor is held constant by diode
    D.
    2. Mode 2 operation:

    • The voltage across capacitor C is (-Vs) and that


    across TA is Vs.
    • The capacitor charging current ic is zero.
    • Only main thyristor T1 continues to conduct
    during this mode and hence the chopper output
    voltage is equal to source voltage Vs.
    • This simply means that chopper is ON during
    this mode.
    3. Mode 3 operation:

    • When main thyristor T1 is to be turned off, auxiliary thyristor TA is triggered.


    • Once TA is triggered, the voltage across the main thyristor becomes equal to (-V s) and current drops to zero as it begins to
    flow through TA. Thus, the main thyristor T1 gets turned off.
    • After T1 is turned off, load current begins to flow through C and TA.
    • The load voltage is sum of source voltage and voltage across the capacitor i.e. V o = 2Vs. When capacitor gets charged to Vs,
    the load voltage becomes ZERO and load current drops to zero.
    4. Mode 4 operation:

    • The load current is zero, capacitor and auxiliary thyristor current are zero and the voltage across main thyristor T1 is Vs.
    • Auxiliary thyristor TA is reversed biased due to voltage across capacitor and current through TA is zero. Therefore, TA gets
    naturally commutated.
    • As capacitor is slightly overcharged, free-wheeling diode gets forward biased and load current free-wheels through FD and
    load.
    • During this mode, ic = 0, iT1 = 0, ifd = Io, vT1 = Vs, vo = 0 and iTA = 0 .
