1. What is meant by a dc chopper ?A dc chopper is a high speed static switch used to obtain variable dc voltage from a constant
dc voltage. It is also known as dc to dc converter. A chopper can be consider as dc equivalentto an dc transformer with continuously variable turns ratio. Like a transformer it can be usedto step up / down a dc voltage source.
2. What is meant by step down and step up chopper?The average output voltage Vo is less than the input voltage Vs, ie Vo < Vs this method ofchopper is called step down chopper / buck converter. Average output voltage Vo is greater
than input voltage Vs ie. Vo > Vs, this chopper is called step up chopper/ boost converter.
3. What is meant by PWM control in dc chopper?In this control method the on time Ton is varied but chopping frequency f is kept constant.The width of the pulse is varied and this type of control is known as PWM.
4. What is TRC and CLC in terms of chopper?
5. Applications of series inverter.The thyristorised series inverters produces an approzimately sinusoidal waveform at a highoutput frequency, ranging from 200 Hz to 100 KHz. It is commonly used for fixed output
applications such as Ultrasonic generators, Induction heating, Sonar transmitter, FluorescentLighting.

7.
Compare CSI and VSIVSIIn VSI input voltage is maintained constant.
The output voltages does not depend on the load
The Magnitude of output current and its waveform depends upon the nature of the loadimpedance.
IT requires feedback diodes.
Commutation is complex.
CSIInput Current is constant but adjustable.
The amplitude of output current does not depend on the load.
The magnitude of output voltage and its waveform depends upon the nature of the loadimpedance.
It does not require any feedback diode.
Commutation circuit is simple.. Contains only capacitors.
8. List the applications of Inverter?a. Variable speed ac motor drives.b. Induction Heatingc. Aircraft power suppliesd. Domestic power suppliese. UPS
9. What are the disadvantages of harmonics present in the inverter system?Harmonics currents will lead to excessive heating in the induction motors. This will reduce
the load carrying capacity of the motor
10.What are the methods of voltage control in Inverters?External control of ac output voltage
External control of dc input voltage

Multiple-Pulse-Width Modulation
The harmonic content can be reduced by using
several pulses in each half-cycle of output
voltage.
This type of modulation is also known as
uniform-pulse-width modulation (UPWM).

Sinusoidal Pulse-Width
Modulation
Instead of maintaining the width of all pulses
the same, the width of each pulse is varied inproportion to amplitude of a sine wave.
This kind of modulation is known as SPWM.
