1 Exercise 4 Ripple in Choppers EXERCISE OBJECTIVE When you have completed this exercise, you will be familiar with ripple in choppers. DISCUSSION OUTLINE The Discussion of this exercise covers the following points: Ripple Ripple versus inductance / capacitance Ripple versus switching frequency DISCUSSION Ripple The residual current or voltage variation at the output of a chopper is called ripple. Figure 34 shows a typical current waveform with ripple at a buck chopper output. Because of ripple, the maximum current value is higher than the average current value. Without ripple, the maximum current and the average current are the same. Output current Max (peak) Average Ripple Time Figure 34. Current ripple at the output of a buck chopper. Ripple voltage is commonly expressed as a peak-to-peak value because it is easy to measure on an oscilloscope and simple to calculate theoretically. Filter circuits intended for the reduction of ripple are usually called smoothing or filtering circuits. The presence of ripple is unwanted because it has many undesirable effects. Some of the effects are: High current ripple increases the maximum current in a circuit. High currents may reduce the life of some electric and electronic components. For instance, high currents reduce the life of the brushes in dc motors, and require high capacity components. Festo Didactic
2 Exercise 4 Ripple in Choppers Discussion High current ripple produces electromagnetic interference (disturbance) that can affect the operation of other electrical and electronic circuits. The disturbance can cause interruptions, or limit the performance of some circuits for instance. When the ripple frequency and its harmonics are within the audio band, they may be audible. High voltage ripple increases the maximum voltage in a circuit. High voltages may reduce the life of some electric and electronic components. For instance, high voltages also require components having high breakdown voltages. Ripple versus inductance / capacitance You have seen in the previous exercise that inductors oppose current variations and that capacitors oppose voltage variations. When the electronic switch shown in Figure 35 closes, current starts to flow through inductor and a magnetic field builds up around the coil of the inductor (energy is stored in the magnetic field). While the magnetic field is building up, the current in inductance increases gradually at a rate inversely proportional to the opposition to the current flow produced by inductor (this opposition is proportional to the inductance of the inductor). When electronic switch opens, the magnetic field around the coil collapses gradually. This provides electrical energy that keeps current flowing in inductor until the magnetic field collapsed completely. This explains why current continues to flow even after switch closes, as shown in Figure 35. Larger inductors have a larger inductance and build larger magnetic fields (store more energy), and thus the time taken to build the magnetic field (and to make the magnetic field collapse) is also longer. For this reason, large inductors oppose current variations more than small inductors as shown in Figure 35. The opposition to current flow causes a reduction in ripple. Without inductor in the circuit of Figure 35, the output current waveform and the switching control signal waveform would be similar. In a complete cycle, there would be periods when the current is null and other periods when current is high, two operating conditions resulting in a maximal amount of ripple (this is not desirable). 56 Festo Didactic

Opposition to current variations caused by inductors. Similarly, capacitors oppose voltage variations by storing electrical energy. Inside a capacitor, the terminals connect to two metal plates separated by a dielectric (non-conducting material). When a voltage is applied across the plates of a capacitor, an electric field builds up in the dielectric (electrical energy is stored). When the voltage applied to the capacitor is removed, the energy stored in the capacitor supplies the circuit for a period of time. The amount of electrical energy a capacitor can store is proportional to the capacitance. Large capacitors store more energy (i.e., have a higher capacity) than small capacitors and oppose more voltage variations. Increasing the size of capacitors is a means of reducing voltage ripple.

4 Exercise 4 Ripple in Choppers Procedure Outline Ripple versus switching frequency It is not always possible and economical to increase the size of inductors and capacitors to reduce the ripple. As you will observe in the procedure of this exercise, increasing the size of an inductor requires more space and adds weight to a device. Instead of increasing the size of inductors and capacitors, the ripple can also be reduced by increasing the switching frequency. Figure 36 shows a waveform having the same average value as the one shown in Figure 34 but with less ripple. The difference in ripple is caused by an increase in frequency of the switching control signal: doubling the switching frequency reduced the ripple by 50% and the maximum voltage reached by approximately 20%. Increasing the switching frequency is a good way of reducing both the current and voltage ripples. In modern equipment, high switching frequency ( Hz and more) is common practice to minimize ripple. Output current Max (peak) Average Ripple Time Figure 36. Increasing the switching frequency reduces ripple.

CONCLUSION In this exercise, you learned that voltage ripple and current ripple are undesired. For instance, high levels of current ripple are associated with high circuit currents that require high capacity components and can also cause premature wear of components. Furthermore, ripple produces disturbances that can affect the operation of electrical circuits. You saw that because inductors oppose current variations, they are widely used to smooth current waveforms. You observed that increasing the size of inductors and increasing the switching frequency are two means of reducing the current ripple. 68 Festo Didactic
