Abstract | ||
Pulse width Modulated (PWM) control technique for an a-c choppers using harmonic elimination method is proposed. The firing switching instants of a-c chopper for the proposed technique is derived theoretically. By using a microprocessor as a controller, makes it possible to store the firing switching instants time as a look-up table for different load voltage values. Two MOSFET's are used as an a-c chopper. Experimental results verifying the simulation analysis of the a-c chopper fed static (R-L) load and dynamic load (1-ph. induction motor). The proposed strategy is low cost, simplified, and control effective. | ||
