1 Exercise 8 The Four-Quadrant Chopper EXERCISE OBJECTIVE When you have completed this exercise, you will be familiar with the operation of the four-quadrant chopper. DISCUSSION OUTLINE The Discussion of this exercise covers the following points: The Four-Quadrant Chopper DISCUSSION The Four-Quadrant Chopper The dc-to-dc converters discussed so far, that is, the buck chopper, the boost chopper, and the buck/boost chopper, allow a dc voltage to be converted into a dc voltage of the same polarity and having a lower or higher value. Furthermore, in the buck and boost choppers, the current can flow in one direction only, whereas in the buck/boost chopper, it can flow in either direction. Another type of dc-to-dc converter, the four-quadrant chopper, allows a dc voltage to be converted into a dc voltage having a lower voltage value as well as current flow in either direction. Furthermore, in the four-quadrant chopper, the polarity of the converted dc voltage can be reversed with respect to the polarity of the original voltage. Therefore, a four-quadrant chopper can provide a positive or a negative dc voltage regardless of the direction in which current flows. This feature allows the four-quadrant chopper to operate in any of the four quadrants of a voltage-current Cartesian plan as shown in Figure 53. Voltage (V) Quadrant II Quadrant I Current (A) Quadrant III Quadrant IV Figure 53. Operation in any of the four quadrants. Festo Didactic
2 Exercise 8 The Four-Quadrant Chopper Discussion In Figure 53, four dots have been drawn, one in each quadrant. Each of these dots represents a possible operating point of the four-quadrant chopper. Drawing straight lines from any one of these dots to the horizontal and vertical axes (current and voltage axes, respectively) allows the dc current and voltage at the output of the four-quadrant chopper to be determined. For example, the dot in Quadrant 3 indicates that the current and voltage are equal to -2 A dc and -60 V dc, respectively. If the operating point of the four-quadrant chopper passes from the dot in Quadrant 3 to the dot in Quadrant 4, the current and voltage change to +2 A dc and -60 V dc, respectively. This indicates that the direction in which current flows has been reversed while the voltage remains the same. Figure 54 shows a four-quadrant chopper built with electronic switches and diodes, and some waveforms related to the circuit. The switching control signals show that the electronic switches are switched in pairs, that is, with and with, and that when one pair of electronic switches is on, the other pair is off. Therefore, the input voltage is alternately applied to the output of the fourquadrant chopper through either one of the two pairs of electronic switches. The instantaneous polarity of the output voltage depends on which pair of electronic switches is on. It is positive when electronic switches and are on, and negative when electronic switches and are on. The average (dc) output voltage of the four-quadrant chopper depends on the time each pair of electronic switches is on during each cycle. This, in turn, depends on the duty cycle of the switching control signals. The equation relating voltages and is written below. (8) where is the dc voltage at the four-quadrant chopper output. is the dc voltage at the four-quadrant chopper input. is the duty cycle expressed as a decimal (50% = 0.5). In this equation, is the duty cycle of the switching control signals applied to electronic switches and in the four-quadrant chopper shown in Figure 54. Since the duty cycle can vary from approximately 0 to 100%, the voltage can vary from approximately - to Festo Didactic

Operation of the four-quadrant chopper. Varying the frequency of the switching control signals while maintaining the duty cycle constant does not affect the dc voltage and current at the four-quadrant chopper output. However, the ripple magnitude decreases as the frequency of the switching control signals increases. Festo Didactic

You will observe that the dc voltage can be either positive or negative and that the current can flow in both directions at the output of a four-quadrant chopper. You will also observe the effect of the switching frequency on the voltage conversion. 14. Considering an input voltage equal to 100 V and using the equation, calculate the dc voltage which should appear at the output of the four-quadrant chopper for the following duty cycles: 25%, 50%, and 75%. Table 14. Calculated dc output voltages of a four-quadrant chopper for various duty cycles. Duty cycle (%) DC output voltage (V) In the Oscilloscope window, display the voltage and current (inputs E1 and I1) at the four-quadrant chopper input, the switching control signal (AI-1) of electronic switch, and the voltage and current (inputs E2 and I2) at the four-quadrant chopper output. 16. In the Data Acquisition and Control Settings of LVDAC-EMS, set the range of E4 to High. This corresponds to a 0 V to 800 V range. 17. In the Chopper/Inverter Control window, set the switching frequency to Hz, and then successively set the duty cycle to each of the values in Table 15. For each value, measure the dc voltage and current at the input (inputs E1 and I1) and output (inputs E2 and I2) of the four-quadrant chopper.

In the Oscilloscope window, make the following settings: Set Channel 1 (X) to display the four-quadrant chopper output current (input I2) and set the sensitivity to 1 A/div. The input selected in Channel 1 is used as the X-axis parameter in the X-Y display mode of the Oscilloscope. Set Channel 2 (Y) to display the four-quadrant chopper output voltage (input E2) and set the sensitivity to 20 V/div. The input selected in Channel 2 is used as the Y-axis parameter in the X-Y display mode of the Oscilloscope. Turn the X-Y and X-Y Average parameters on. Select the Continuous Refresh mode. 30. In LVDAC-EMS, open the Data Table window. Under the Options tab, open the Record Settings dialog box, select Oscilloscope in the Settings field, then select Channel 1 AVG and Channel 2 AVG as the parameters to be recorded. Close the Record Settings dialog box. 31. Make sure that the average (dc) output current (input I2) is null. Slightly readjust the voltage of the voltage source if necessary. In this operating condition, the average (dc) output voltage of the four-quadrant chopper is positive and equal to the battery voltage plus or minus the voltage drop across inductor. In the Chopper/Inverter Control window, vary the duty cycle between 70% and 80% by 1% increments. For each setting, observe the location of the dot in the Oscilloscope display and record the average (dc) output current (Channel 1 AVG) and average (dc) output voltage (Channel 2 AVG) of the four-quadrant chopper in the data table. Do not exceed 4.5 A at the output of the four-quadrant chopper. Manually record the duty cycle corresponding to each setting in the Data Table. Festo Didactic
12 Exercise 8 The Four-Quadrant Chopper Procedure 32. Stop the four-quadrant chopper and the voltage source. 33. Reverse the battery connections in the circuit as shown in Figure 57. Chopper/Inverter 2 mh 100 V 50 V Switching control signals from digital outputs on DACI Figure 57. Circuit used to demonstrate four-quadrant operation (with reversed battery connections). 34. In the Chopper/Inverter Control window, set the duty cycle to 25% then start the four-quadrant chopper and the voltage source. Make sure that the average (dc) output current (input I2) is null. Slightly readjust the voltage of the voltage source if necessary. In this operating condition, the average (dc) output voltage of the four-quadrant chopper is negative and equal to the battery voltage plus or minus the voltage drop across inductor. In the Chopper/Inverter Control window, vary the duty cycle between 30% and 20% by 1% increments. For each setting, observe the location of the dot in the Oscilloscope display and record the average (dc) output current (Channel 1 AVG) and average (dc) voltage (Channel 2 AVG) of the fourquadrant chopper in the data table. Make sure not to exceed 4.5 A at the output of the four-quadrant chopper. Manually record the duty cycle corresponding to each setting in the data table. 35. Stop the four-quadrant chopper and the voltage source. 128 Festo Didactic
13 Exercise 8 The Four-Quadrant Chopper Conclusion 36. Transfer your recorded data into a spreadsheet application, and plot on a same graph, a curve of the dc output voltage (Y axis) versus dc output current (X axis) when the duty cycle varies from 70% to 80%, and a curve of the dc output voltage (Y axis) versus dc output current (X axis) when the duty cycle varies from 30% to 20%. 37. Do the curves you plotted confirm that the four-quadrant chopper can operate in any of the four quadrants? Yes No 38. Referring to the curves you plotted, determine the duty cycle at which the current changes polarity. 39. Close LVDAC-EMS, turn off all equipment, and remove all leads and cables. CONCLUSION In this exercise, you observed that the electronic switches are switched in pairs in a four-quadrant chopper, and that when one pair of electronic switches is on, the other pair is off. You observed that the voltage at the input of the four-quadrant chopper is alternately applied to its output through each pair of electronic switches and that the polarity of the output voltage alternates depending on which pair of electronic switches is on. You also observed that the four-quadrant chopper can provide a positive or a negative average (dc) voltage regardless of the direction in which current flows, thereby allowing four-quadrant operation.
