1 Exercise 2 The Buck Chopper EXERCISE OBJECTIVE When you have completed this exercise, you will be familiar with the operation of the buck chopper. DISCUSSION OUTLINE The Discussion of this exercise covers the following points: The buck chopper Operation of a buck chopper with a resistive load High-side versus low-side switching DISCUSSION The buck chopper Many electric devices that are powered by batteries contain sub-circuits that require a voltage level different than that supplied by the battery or the external supply (sometimes higher or lower than the supply voltage, and possibly even of opposite polarity). The chopper, also called dc-to-dc converter, is a power electronic circuit which converts the voltage of a dc source from one value to another. When the initial voltage is converted to a higher voltage, the chopper is called a boost chopper; conversely, when the initial voltage is converted to a lower voltage, it is called a buck chopper. Choppers use electronic switches to convert dc voltages and currents from high to low levels and vice versa. The electronic switches can be designed with IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistors), MOSFETs (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors), etc. Figure 20 shows a buck chopper built with electronic switch, and some waveforms related to this circuit.

Operation of a buck chopper with a resistive load. Operation of a buck chopper with a resistive load When the electronic switch shown in Figure 20 switches on, the dc power supply voltage is applied to the resistive load and current flows through the load. When the electronic switch switches off, the dc power supply voltage is no longer applied to the load, and the current stops flowing through the load. The dc voltage (i.e., the average voltage) at the buck chopper output is proportional to the voltage at the buck chopper input and the time that electronic switch is on during each cycle. This time, which is referred to as the on-time, is in turn proportional to the duty cycle of the switching control signal applied to the control signal input of electronic switch. 28 Festo Didactic
3 Exercise 2 The Buck Chopper Discussion The equation relating voltages and is given by the expression: (4) where is the dc (average) voltage at the buck chopper output. is the dc (average) voltage applied at the buck chopper input. is the duty cycle expressed as a decimal (50% = 0.5). Thus, voltage can be varied by varying the duty cycle. Since the duty cycle can vary between 0% and 100%, voltage can vary between 0 and. A low duty cycle corresponds to a low output voltage, because the voltage at the buck chopper output is zero most of the time. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) of the switching control signals is a very efficient way of providing intermediate amounts of electrical power between 0 and maximum. Note that varying the frequency of the switching control signal while maintaining the duty cycle constant does not vary the average value of the output voltage and current at the buck chopper output. High-side versus low-side switching Figure 21 shows two buck choppers implemented with electronic switch placed at two different locations relative to the power supply and the load. When the electronic switch is placed on the high-voltage side of the power supply as shown in Figure 21a, the configuration is called high-side switching. Conversely, when the electronic switch is placed on the low-voltage side of the power supply as shown in Figure 21b, the configuration is called low-side switching. Load Load (a) High-side switching (b) Low-side switching Figure 21. High-side and low-side switching configurations. Although both configurations produce the same voltage and same current in the load, the low-side switching configuration is often preferred to the high-side switching configuration because it is easier to implement and requires fewer electronic components. In fact, for current to flow through the switching transistor, a low voltage (typically 5 V) must be applied between the gate and emitter of the switching transistor. The voltage at the gate must be higher than the voltage at the emitter of the switching transistor for current to flow through the transistor. Figure 22b shows a typical case of a switching transistor in the low-side switching configuration using an NPN type transistor. Festo Didactic
4 Exercise 2 The Buck Chopper Procedure Outline In order to maintain a positive voltage of 5 V across the gate and emitter of a switching transistor in a high-side switching configuration, the gate voltage must be equal to the voltage (47 V) across the load when the transistor is on plus about 5 V. This corresponds to a voltage of approximately 52 V in the example shown in Figure 22a. In comparison, a gate voltage of only 5 V is required to turn on the transistor in a low-side switching configuration as shown in Figure 22b.

The high-side switching configuration is generally used in applications where one terminal of the load must be at the same voltage level as the common of the power supply (negative terminal of the power supply). Since the load is not connected to the common of the power supply in the low-side switching configuration, the load is said to be floating. PROCEDURE OUTLINE The Procedure is divided into the following sections: Setup and connections Output voltage versus duty cycle Output voltage versus switching frequency Low-side and high-side switching PROCEDURE High voltages are present in this laboratory exercise.

Make the necessary connections and switch settings on the Resistive Load in order to obtain the resistance value required. Output voltage versus duty cycle In this part of the exercise, you will vary the duty cycle of the switching control signal to vary the time the electronic switch is on while observing the voltage at the buck chopper output. This will allow you to verify the relationship between the duty cycle and the voltage conversion performed by the buck chopper. 9. In LVDAC-EMS, open the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply window and make the following settings: Select the Voltage Source (+) function. Set the voltage to 50 V. Start the voltage source. 10.

7 Exercise 2 The Buck Chopper Procedure Interface to generate the switching control signal required by a buck chopper implemented with an electronic switch located on the highvoltage side of the power supply. Set the Switching Frequency parameter to 2000 Hz. This sets the frequency of the switching control signal to 2000 Hz. Set the Duty Cycle Control parameter to Knob. Set the Duty Cycle parameter to 50%. This sets the duty cycle of the switching control signal to 50 %. Set the Acceleration Time parameter to 0 s. Set the Deceleration Time parameter to 0 s. Make sure that the parameter is set to PWM. Notice that the Status parameter is set to Stopped. This indicates that the buck chopper is disabled. 11. For each duty cycle shown in Table 2, calculate the average output voltage of the buck chopper using an input voltage equal to 50 V and the equation. Record your results in the column "Calculated" of Table 2. Table 2. Average output voltage versus duty cycle (high-side switching). DC input voltage (V) 50 Duty cycle (%) Average output voltage (V) Calculated Measured Note: switching frequency = 2000 Hz 12. In the Chopper/Inverter Control window, start the buck chopper by clicking on the Start/Stop button (or by setting the Status parameter to Started). 13. In LVDAC-EMS, open the Oscilloscope window and display the following parameters: voltage (input E1) at the buck chopper input, switching control signal (AI-1), average output voltage measured across resistor (input E2), and the output current flowing through resistor (input I2).

Select convenient vertical scale and position settings in the Oscilloscope to facilitate observation. Figure 24 shows an example of what the Oscilloscope should display. Figure 24. Waveforms at the input and output of the buck chopper (high-side configuration). 14. For each duty cycle value shown in Table 2, measure the average output voltage across resistor using input E2 of the Data Acquisition and Control Interface. The average values of the observed waveforms are indicated in the column "AVG" located under the Oscilloscope display. Record your results in the column "Measured" of Table Compare the calculated voltages with the measured voltages. Are they approximately the same? Notice that a slight difference is normal due to the voltage drop across the switching transistor. Yes No 16. Do your measurement results confirm that the average output voltage is proportional to the duty cycle of the switching control signal ( )? Yes No 34 Festo Didactic
9 Exercise 2 The Buck Chopper Procedure Output voltage versus switching frequency In this part of the exercise, you will vary the switching frequency while observing the voltage at the buck chopper output. This will allow you to verify the relationship between the switching frequency and the voltage conversion performed by the buck chopper. 17. In the Chopper/Inverter Control window, set the duty cycle to 50%. This sets the average output voltage of the buck chopper to about 25 V. For each switching frequency shown in Table 3, measure the average output voltage across resistor using input E2. The average output voltage value is indicated in the column "AVG" located under the Oscilloscope display. Record your results in Table 3. Table 3.

Does the buck chopper output voltage vary with the switching frequency? Yes No 19. Do your results confirm that the switching frequency has no effect on the output voltage of the buck chopper? Yes No 20. Stop the buck chopper and the voltage source. Festo Didactic
10 Exercise 2 The Buck Chopper Procedure Low-side and high-side switching In this part of the exercise, you will change the position of the electronic switch in the buck chopper to obtain a low-side switching configuration. Then you will verify if the buck chopper still converts the voltage in the same way as with the high-side configuration. 21. Modify your circuit as shown in Figure 25 to set up a low-side switching configuration. Disconnect Switching Control Input 1 of the Chopper/Inverter from Analog Input 1 of the Data Acquisition and Control Interface. Connect Switching Control Input 4 of the Chopper/Inverter to Analog Input 1 of the Data Acquisition and Control Interface.

In the Chopper/Inverter Control window, make the following settings: Set the function to Buck Chopper (low-side switching). This setting allows the Data Acquisition and Control Interface to generate the switching control signal required by a buck chopper implemented with an electronic switch located on the low-voltage side of the power supply. Set the switching frequency to 2000 Hz. Set the duty cycle to 0%. Make sure that the acceleration time is set to 0 s. Make sure that the deceleration time is set to 0 s. Set the parameter to PWM. Start the buck chopper. 36 Festo Didactic
11 Exercise 2 The Buck Chopper Conclusion 23. In the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply window, start the voltage source. 24. For each duty cycle value shown in Table 4, measure the average output voltage across resistor using input E2 of the of the Data Acquisition and Control Interface. Record your results in Table 4. Table 4. Average output voltage versus duty cycle (low-side switching). DC input voltage (V) 50 Duty cycle (%) Average output voltage (V) 25. Compare the average output voltages measured in the low-side configuration (Table 4) with those measured in the high-side configuration (Table 2). Are they approximately the same? Yes No 26. Do your results confirm that the switching transistor can be located on either side of the voltage source without affecting the voltage conversion performed by the buck chopper? Yes No 27. Stop the buck chopper and the voltage source. Close LVDAC-EMS, turn off all equipment, and remove all leads and cables. CONCLUSION In this exercise, you learned that the average voltage at the output of a buck chopper is proportional to the duty cycle. You learned that the maximum average voltage that can be obtained at the buck chopper output is slightly lower than the voltage at its input. You observed that the switching frequency has no effect on the voltage conversion performed by the buck chopper. You also observed that the electronic switch can be located on the low-voltage side or the high-voltage side of the power supply without affecting the voltage conversion taking place in the buck chopper.
