    Class A Chopper: Presented By-Mrs. Pranjali Bafila

    Class A choppers operate in only one quadrant by controlling the supply voltage to an inductive load. When the chopper is on, the supply voltage is connected across the load and current flows through the load. When the chopper is off, the free-wheeling diode allows the load current to continue flowing in the same direction through the diode. As a result, both the average output voltage and current for a Class A chopper are always positive, meaning it operates only in the first quadrant.

    CLASS A CHOPPER

    PRESENTED BY-
    Mrs. Pranjali bafila
    Classification of chopper
    • Depending upon the direction of output
    current and voltage, the converters can be
    classified into five classes namely-
    • CLASS A CHOPPER( one quadrant operation)
    • CLASS B CHOOPER( one quadrant operation)
    • CLASS C CHOPPER(two quadrant operation)
    • CLASS D CHOPPER(two quadrant opeation)
    • CLASS E CHOPPER(four quadrant operation)
    CLASS A CHOPPER

    MODE OF OPERATION
    when chopper is on-

    Fig(2) class A chopper


    Working of class A chopper
    when chopper is ON-

    • Figure (2)shows a Class A Chopper circuit with


    inductive load and free-wheeling diode.
    • When chopper is ON, supply voltage V is
    connected across the load i.e., and current i0
    flows as shown in figure
    When chopper is off-

    Fig(3) class A chopper


    When chopper is off
    • When chopper is OFF, v0 = 0 and the load
    current i0 continues to flow in the same
    direction through the free wheeling diode.
    • Therefore the average values of output voltage
    and current i.e., v0 and i0 are always positive.
    Hence, Class A Chopper is a first quadrant
    chopper (or single quadrant chopper).
