Yeah,
I welcome you all back to the session.
So uh here uh just we ended up in uh
bipolar jension transistors and how do
like uh in what are the configurations
they are available. So when you are uh
obviously in uh
electrical vehicle application uh we are
going to use this bipolar junction
transistor by means of switches. So we
are just worried about operating this
bipolar junction as a switches. So we
fixed in with a certain type like common
based type of configuration for your uh
application. So here we ended up like
this is by bipolar junction transistor.
So we will just go on with the other
So the next type of transistors that is
they are field effect transistors. So in
this field effect transistors as we all
as we have discussed in the previous
itself like uh junction transistors are
used for low current application and
sorry low voltage application and IGBTs
are used for low low current
applications. So here if you see uh
there are different types of uh field
effect transistors uh like MOSFET and
these things. So we are not actually
worried about different types of
switching switching circuits here. We
are actually worried about like
junction transistors and field effect
transistors. So in this aspect we are
just going with IGBT. So IGBT is nothing
but it is a combination of BJT as well
as MOSFET. So just like that uh morning
we saw about like BJT right. So this BJT
will be having like a bipolar junction
transistors have three terminals
collector, emitter, base whereas this
MOSFET will have drain, source and gate.
Okay. So IGBT is the combination of
MOSFET plus BJT. Okay. So how this we
are not now I'm not getting into a
deeper topic like how MOSFET is working
and how I emit BJT is working and
ultimately how HGBD is going to work. So
instead we are going to see it in a
different way. As you all know
everything is the combination of uh PNP
type of semiconductors. So here you see
like PT type semiconductor N type of
semiconductor and you do have silicon
oxide. These things actually you can
just go through with other available uh
YouTube video sources. So there you can
see in deep like how these things are
practically working. But what I am here
to tell is about. So here you have three
terminals. I'll just give a brush up
about it. Gate, collector and emitter.
From that what you can understand is
that it is a output wise it will behave
like a bipolar junction transistor.
Whereas its input
uh you will be having as a MOSFET.
Right? So here you have two terminals to
have a little amount of light on it. Uh
the voltage across collector and emitter
will be always existing. Right? But only
when you give a triggering pulse to the
gate whenever the gate is given with
some voltage at that time only current
will flow from collector to emitter. So
this is the logic behind it. So uh
instead of going in for chemical
combination of that how it is working
that things have been briefly discussed
with respect to BJT.
So it is it will also work in a similar
way only. But thing is that the control
technique the control technique is very
simple. Your uh load will be if you want
to connect a lamp in between uh you want
to connect a lamp and you want to blow
it turn it on and turn it off with uh
the help of this IGBT. What you have to
do is you just connect a lamp it will
not glow. But if you measure the voltage
wtage will be there across your bulb.
But when you just give a positive high
to the gate terminal at that time the
bulb will glow. If it is low at that
time the bulb will get off. So like this
only the switches is operating actually.
So now if you see technically it will
work like this only a masset is there
and it's uh drain terminal is used as a
base of your uh IGBT sorry BJT here. So
now if you see the collector terminal of
a BJT is there, emitter terminal of a
BJT is there and gate terminal of your
MOSFET is there. Okay. So this will
actually work under the principle of
your uh BJT itself. See here collector
current is flowing at last emitter
current has to flow. What is my logic
for BJT? My collector current should be
equal to my emitter current. If I able
to do that then I understand my switch
is on. So how do I do that? I just give
a gate voltage to the this terminal. If
I give a high pulse then what happens is
this terminal will get its voltage. At
that point gate gate signal will be
given. At that point your collector
current will be equal to the emitter
current. If you do so
then your uh switches ultimately going
to turn on. So this is how the IGBTs
will work. So this IGBDs are used in the
predominantly in most of the power
electronic circuit which is being used
in the inside an electrical vehicle. Right?
So this is a basic difference between a
BG and an IGBT. Okay. The first point
about it terminals. BJT has three terminals.
terminals.
emitter, base and collector. IGBT also
has the same three terminals but
emitter, collector and gate. Coming to
the control quality, BJ BJT is a current
control device whereas IGBD is a voltage
control device. You control the base
current of your BJT. Whereas in IGBT you
control the voltage between gate and the
emitter that is gate emitter voltage. By
controlling it the output will be
controlled to the current of your base.
So in this logic only these two
transistors will be working. Coming to
control terminal the base terminal has
the control on the operation of BJT
whereas gate terminal has the control on
the operation of IGBT.
drive circuit BJT as a complex drive
circuit. Whereas if you see when you
construct a drive circuit using an IGBT,
it is relatively simple when compared to
BJT. Switching speed is low in a case of
BJT. Whereas for an IGBT, the switching
speed is comparatively high. Switching
time of a BJD is an order of 10 microsconds
microsconds
whereas it is an it is half than that
often be in the case of IGBT that is 0.5 microconds
microconds
drive power has a very require BJT
requires very large drive power that is
the voltage and current consumption of a
BJT is much more higher when compared to
that of an IGBT. So since you are going
to use the switches inside an electrical
vehicle, it is depending upon the
battery voltage to utilize it. Right? So
if it is going to consume more wtages
and current, it ultimately ends up in
draining of battery that will affect
your range of your vehicle. So this is
this also pays a small point in
increasing your range. Next point
switching power losses. for BJT the
switching losses are relatively high
whereas in IGBT the switching losses are
less than the BJT. Okay, switching
frequency. So coming to switching
frequency this is a very important point
a BJT the switching frequency is about
20 KOHZ max whereas here you can go up
to 160 kHz. Okay. So next the input
impedance imped impedance is low in a
case of PJT whereas in the case of IGBD
it is high. Now
safe operating area BJT has a narrow
safe operating area whereas IGBT has the
safe area is wider than that of a BJT.
Okay that is the operating voltage
range. Okay. The operating wtage range
is very very limited with respect to a
BJT. Whereas in case of IGBT you can go
for wide range of operation
PJT is power and capability is very low
when compared to that of an IGBT
onstate resistant temperature
coefficient. Okay. So how much it can
withstand the temperature. Okay. So BJD
has a negative temperature coefficient
of onstate resistance. Whereas IGBT has
positive temperature coefficient.
Application of BJD is low power
switching devices as an amplifier. IGBT
extensively used as a switching devices
in inverter circuits. So basically in
our uh power electronics used in
electrical vehicle we use actually
switching devices only for inverter
circuit. So we prefer IGBT. So if you
ask me like sir we have a junction trans
transistors field effect transistors we
have IGBT so which is better than that.
Okay. So we cannot tell like see uh we
cannot tell if I if I want to replace
IGBT as BJT or BJT as MOSFET like that.
So we cannot tell like that because each
switch has its own advantages and
disadvantages. The call has to be taken
by the designer that is yourself. So if
you are going to design a circuit and if
you are building a circuit for certain
application you have your own
constraints like I can compromise with
certain points correct or not you you
you you may go like this point can be
compromised by myself because instead of
that I can concentrate on some other
point if you have that sort of
understanding you can go with any
switches but compromise should not
affect the performance of the entire
system. So if your compromise is going
to affect the performance of the entire
vehicle system then it should not that
that is not a right decision right. So
end of the day what you have to consider
is that you have to check with the
application and application efficiency
should be good by using any of your
switches that should be in your mind and
with that respect only you have to
choose your switches. In our case, most
of the inverter we are we are in uh our
uh electrical vehicle system we are
going to purely depend upon the
operating this transistor as switches
only. So if it is going to be a switches
it should it should handle more or more
of uh switching frequency with less
switching losses. In that case we can
use either our IGBT or MOSFET for your
application. Right? So this is what
Now we are coming into the next
important topic that is power
electronics right. So now I just wanted
to now I have just ended with all type
of essential things. Okay essential
things in the sense we have studied
about like what is the basics about
electricals that is electrical circuits
that is very much necessary to figure
out the circuit to trace the circuit and
do the fault diagnosis systems. How to
understand the system? how to analyze it
and how to calculate it. Correct? In the
basic electronic system, we understood
what are the components available, how
do they behave when connected in
different sorts of networks and
circuits. And finally, we saw about
different types of switches. Now, what
we are going to do is that using the
switches how we are going to construct a
circuit. So, now we are entering into
the power electronics part of the Okay.
So power electronic
part of your electrical vehicle system.
Okay. Now as of now if you have any
doubt in switches or any related uh
things you may just ask I will just give
a break of 1 minute you may just comment
your uh things in the live chat and
accordingly you may I may address your
answers and then uh address your
questions sorry and we can proceed with
Now actually we are going to building
few circuits to which is actually used
by electrical vehicle system. So I think uh
uh
all are asking about good afternoon and
uh time of starting the classes time
So yes, so uh as this thing is uh I
don't see any queries from your side.
I'm just pro proceeding with the circuit
construction. So in this power
electronic circuit what are the circuits
actually there inside an electrical
vehicle system. So the first question is
that right? So where are the what are
the conversions we have to make and
these things. So for that you just
imagine like uh what are the systems
connected with the electrical vehicle
from input to the output input in the
sense like uh from the grid when I
connect my electrical vehicle to the
grid from there my role starts right and
where it ends up means when it when it
is uh getting utilized and my electrical
energy is transmitted to the wheel as a
mechanical motion till the till that
point my point point is ending and that
is like working principle. Now apart
from that you have to understand another
thing. If I want to optimize my system
for example if your vehicle is running
by itself now you want to just you use
the motor to be a generator and you have
to regenerate the principle and again
restore the energy as a kinetic energy
to electrical energy and you have to
restore it into into your energy system
called battery. If you're doing that
again that requires another type of
control system. So if you just think
about it you have what are different
types of different types of different
types of circuits requirement right here
if you want to transmit the power in
electrical vehicle. If you want to
transmit the power from one part to the
other part for example you just imagine
the circuit which I have shown in the
very beginning that is from your battery
you are just transmitting the power to
controller drive circuit. Okay your
battery is having a DC power and that DC
power is being fed to the
uh power electronic control drive which
is driving the motor. Okay. Apart from
that there are many electrical and
electronic components within the
vehicle. For example, what lighting
systems, infotainment and uh you have
other air conditioning systems. So many
systems are there. For that also you
need to transmit the power from the
battery. Right? The inverter power
requirement is something different from
this component level of uh equipments
which is there in the vehicle. So how to
split the power and give because we do
have only one battery right from there
we need to transmit the system. So
though the components may work in DC or
AC that is my secondary question first
how we are going to transmit the power.
Okay. So we are going to transmit the
power from battery to other part of the
system which is there in the electrical
vehicle. Now I all the equipments are
operating at different wtage ranges and
current ranges. So I need to transmit
the same power of battery to all the
systems and component level. Now what I
have to do I need to make certain
necessary arrangement so that that
particular component is going to receive
that much amount of voltage and current
which is required by the load. So there
I I need to transmit the power. So for
that I need to build a circuit. Now from
the grid I need to store the energy to
my battery. So grid is of AC whereas I'm
going to have my battery as my DC. So I
need to convert that AC to DC. Now there
also I need to have a circuit. Similarly
there may be certain applications which
is running only in AC AC supply. So when
I require only AC supply, I do have a
energy source only battery which will
give only me DC supply. So again there I
have to convert my DC to the AC right. So
so we have to take this part into
consideration and we have to build the
circuit for these things right. So in
this aspect only we are seeing about
going to see about these three topics
that is chopper rectifier and inverter.
power electronics. So what is actually a
powerronics? So here we are going to see
about some electronic circuit that is
going to operate in a high voltage.
What was your question?
Can you retype it? I'm not able to find
Okay. So I'm just continuing with the
session. I think uh
something which is irrelevant is going
on. Right. Thank you. So now
uh yeah so what this poweronic systems
are usually used
okay I you want to reduce my speed okay
fine slowly I'm going so power
powerronic systems are widely used in
different types of applications that is
power generation power transmission
power distribution and power control. So
you understand this flow right?
Generation, transmission, distribution
and control. So if you see the meaning
of power electronic circuit is
integrating different parts of the
components. So here you see if you have
a micro grid, it serves as the interface
to all type of application.
Okay. So here you can see like uh this
is general explanation. So,
so from my electrical grid if you want
to connect it to a micro grid say for
example a battery or something
definitely you require a electronic
interface. Similarly from my energy
storage system okay so from there if you
want to have different types of micro
grid there also you require a paratronic
interface. If you're varying load like
AC to DC loads different loads are there
and you want to utilize it for your
micro grid or something anything which
you want to connect that is very simple
only I have quoted these words that is
if you want to generate the power
transmit the power distribute it and
control it definitely you require a
polronic circuit for it. So this is the
brief introduction about the polronics
and this is how it is important for any
system right now just see here this is
the powerronic system. This is how it
works. You give a input power you you
you have a power converter. This is your
powerronic circuit and it will give a
output power. Your input require
required output power. If your input
power may vary at any cost but you fix
your output power should be in this way
accordingly you build a circuit and that
circuit is called as power polonic
circuits and this is the uses of this
power converters right now if still if
you want to have a closed loop operation
you have to have a feedback like this
much should be your reference and
accordingly this controller has to work
for that also you can to create some
feedback and create a compensation
circuit and based upon that compensation
circuit you can control your powerronic
devices so that you'll be having a
closed loop operation. Closed loop
operation means what your output based
upon your output you can even change
your input given to your system or you
can also correct the error between the
output power and your input power. Okay.
So this is actually the role of your
power electronic devices. Now what are
the basic types of power converters?
First, a power converter can convert a
AC input to a DC input.
Next, it can convert a DC to DC power.
Next, your input can be a DC and your
output can be AC.
Next, your input can be AC and output
can be an AC also. So these are the in
four different circuits that can convert
one form of energy to the other form.
Right? So in this aspect if you see
these are the four major circuits found
in a power electronic subject. Now these
four circuit have their own names. What
are they? If you're going to convert AC
to DC they are called as rectifiers.
If you're going to convert DC input to a
DC output then it is called as a chopper
circuit. If you are going to convert a
DC input to a AC output then it is
called as an inverter. If you're going
to convert a AC input to a AC output
then it is called a cylo converter.
So these are the four major circuit
found in a power electronic subjects. Now
Now
you I can understand a thing anybody can
understand like if your input is AC and
if your application is going to be a
output sorry DC. Now maybe your input is
a AC supply that is EB or something from
there you want to use a load which is
actually working in a DC. So you need to
convert a AC to DC. Similarly, there is
an I can also understand this part that
is maybe your input is DC that is you
may use a battery as an energy source
and accordingly your output uh
load can be like application can be a AC
application. So for that you need to
convert a DC to AC. So you are using an
inverter. Okay fine. when your input is
also take these two cases here if you
see your input is also same and output
is also same. So why I need to convert
same DC to again another DC. Why I want
to convert same AC to another AC?
Take 2 minutes time to answer in your
I'm getting access like fixer voltage to
a control voltage
to make it as a variable AC.
So yeah so I am continuing here. So
if you see here the objective is very
simple maybe your input is varying my
output my output should not vary I need
a constant output or your input is v
constant I need a varying output. So fix
it to variable that is actually a
interesting and short crisp answer for
this question. So if your input is fixed
but I don't want a fixed value as an
output. I want different ranges of
output then I need to convert a one for
one form of energy to a same form of
energy. There is a need for it. So so
for that reason only I'm going to
convert a DC to DC. Similarly a AC to
AC. So if you are going to convert a DC
to DC then it is called as a chopper
circuit. When you are going to convert a
AC to AC that is called as a cylo
converter. For our electric vehicle
application we will be in use of chopper
rectifier and inverter whereas the
application towards cylo converter is
very less and refined.
Uh some more few more answers I'm
getting. Uh
yeah mega j yeah yeah okay to change one
DC voltage level to another while
maintaining stable and efficient. Yeah,
that is the answer I have given correct.
So to match consistence power supply.
Yeah, fix it. Yeah, that is what so
maybe you have you have type typed it by
yourself or from the answer I don't know
but uh you have done a good job. Yeah,
that is the answer like if I want to
have my variable what is my requirement
of my output whether it should be a
fixed or variable based upon that I will
take a call. So to continue with here we
are going to use rectifier chopper and
inverter for an electrical vehicle
system whereas in cylo converters
application is not there in an
electrical vehicle system. So we are
just moving on forward. Yeah first step
we are going to see about these circuits
only that is DC to DC converters. So
they are called as choppers right.
right.
So DC toDC converters convert a fixed DC
input to a variable DC voltage or vice
versa. The DC voltage is controlled by
varying actually the duty cycle. So what
is a duty cycle? We'll go about it. Next
why we need to convert the DC toDC
conversion. These are the three points
that is fixed variable to a variable
value to avoid the huge scale power
devices. For example, if my battery is
of 48 volt, okay, maybe 100 volt or
something. Now, if I want to use a small
equipment, okay, which is of less
operating voltage, say 12 volt or 10
volt, I need not go I can connect it but
ultimately the main power source of from
the battery will be drained because of
this lesser load. Correct? So uh now
what I have to do is that I have to
either go for a separate battery or I I
I have an option like I have to step
down the voltage. So the best option is
stepping down the voltage. Similarly for
a huge operating application I need not
go and invest more amount on building up
a another uh new battery for only that
application. So instead what I can do I
can use a step up chopper and I can add
in in in between it so that it will
boost the voltage and it will give. So
to avoid huge scale power devices what
we can do is we can use a low power
devices itself instead of going in for
huge power. For example if I'm going to
buy an inverter if I matching with my
battery capacity what happens is I need
to go for a higher higher power
inverter. So instead of that what I will
do I will just put a small power
inverter which can operate my motor and
what I will do I'll just add a step down
chopper in between the battery and my
inverter. So this saves the cost as well
as the complexity in the component
level. So to avoid these things only
what we are doing we are in
incorporating this types of variable DC
toDC converters that is called as
shoppers. So finally the unrelated
signal to regulate signal that is the
variable input I told no that can be
considered to be unregulated signal
right because if your input is going to
be continuously varied it can be like
varying uh unregulated signal is not
regulated it is unregulated. So when I
turned it to to make it as a constant
value it is called as a regulated value.
So from unreulated signal I have
converted that to a regulated signal. Okay.
Okay.
So these are few of the applications
where you use uh
DC toDC converter chopper that is
several switch mode power supply that is
SMPS for ECUs in automotive application
like body safety ADAS that is advanced
driver assist systems powertrain in
e-mobility exclusively like automotive
DC toDC converter IC are in high demand
regenerative braking system and to
operate any LED as a display or
emergency lamps with seamless bug boost
regulations and fast dynamic load jump
behavior. Synchronous DCT offer
additional flexibility to high power
applications. So that is what this point
denotes like to avoid huge scale power
devices. Right now with this brief
introduction I'm just going into the circuit.
So just consider this circuit. See this
circuit. It is a very simple circuit,
right? you are going to have a switch
and from there I'm connecting a inductor
and it is connected to a load. So it is
ending up here. Now here I have
connected a diode parall to the load.
Correct? This is a diode. You know the
symbol this is a diode and this is an
inductor and this is a load and this is
a switch. So in the morning session you
have learned about all these components
and you know definitely how this circuit
is going to work. The mode of circuit is
when I going to switch on the circuit
and when I'm going to switch off this
switch what happens.
You may not give the answers but just
check the circuit and just recall
yourself like how these components will
work accordingly. You just bring it into
your mind like when the switch is
getting closed how the current flow will
be there and when the switch is open how
the current flow will be there. So this
is what you're going to spend another 30
seconds for this. Just go through the
circuit analyze within yourself. You
need not comment on the live chat box.
You may just analyze it, follow the
current flow and you can keep it in your
mind so that we will discuss. If you
find any change in your thought process
that means you have not understood the
subject properly or you can correct it.
If your frequency is matching with like
your answer is matching with whatever I
am going to deliver then you have
understood the concept whatever you have
told from model right. Just analyze when
the switch is closed how the current is
going to travel what is going to happen
in the circuit when the switch is open
what is going to happen in the circuit
just I'm giving a time of 40 to 30 seconds
Yes, here I'm ending up the time and I'm
going to now explain about the circuit.
Before that I have a question like what
does variable DC actually means? So
variable DC means if your input is say
for example 30 volt DC your output
requirement may be like 10 volt DC 15
volt DC that is called as actually
variable DC. Your input is constant but
your outputs are different. So that that
variable means different outputs. It is
not like constantly it is varying. It is
like different outputs. Okay. Say for
example, let us take a solar panel as an
example where you can see the radiation
is there. The solar panel is supposed to
give 1 kilowatt output. Maybe because of
the radiation it is varying. Now your
input is also varying. Because of that
the output is varying. Though the input
is varying. If you want to get a
constant output as a voltage you just
use a regulator that is chopper circuit.
Right? So that is the meaning. variable
means it you have a different sets of
output values right I think I have
answered your question I'm moving on to
the circuit now here you see now I'm
just going to switch on the circuit now
so when the circuit is switch on what
happens the load is connected so the
when the load is connected this circuit
is called as a closed circuit if the
load is not connected I have obviously
is I what I will tell it is a open
circuit now the circuit is closed
because the load is connected with two
terminals. When the load is connected
with two terminals, what happens? The my
current is going to start to flow. How
much amount of current will flow? My
load requirement demand. If my load is
demanding for 3 amp, 3 amp of current
only will flow. If my load is requiring
for 10 amp, then it will 10 amp of
current only will flow. Not more than
that. Now, this particular current is
starting to flow. As the switch is on,
the current is going to reach this
point. And I'm sure you know this point.
This point is called as no. Yeah. Now
the node node is coming here. So my
current start to divide. Now my current
is going to come this way. And finds my
diode is reverse bias. Since my diode is
reverse bias. Now my current will not
flow through this line. Instead the
entire current will flow through this
line only. So the total amount of
current will flow this this line only.
Now my inductor is getting charged. My
current is traveling through the loop.
My inductor is getting charged and I my
current is coming here reaching the
load. My load is starting working. That
is let us take an example of bulb. My
bulb is glowing now and the current is
leaving through the negative terminal.
So this is how the circuit is working.
Right now the second mode is when my
switch off that is my switch is
released. So when my switch is released
what happens? My input supply is cut.
Now my inductor is charged. Correct or
not? My inductor is charged. When the
supply is cut in the circuit, what
happens? My inductor will start to
discharge. How the inductor will
discharge? My inductor will discharge by
changing its polarity. So when the
current entered this way, right? It was
positive here and it was negative at
this point. Right? The minor current
traveled here. It traveled through the
loop and it came this way. So this was
positive and this was negative. Correct?
Now my inductor is going to discharge.
When inductor is discharging what
happens? It changes its polarity. Now
this is this will become a positive and
this will become a negative. My inductor
is going to discharge few current. How
the current will flow from positive to
negative through the load. So from this
is going to be positive. This is
negative. So it is coming here. My
current is coming here. My bulb is
starting to blow. After glowing my
current will glow here, come here. Come
here. As the switch is closed. This this
line is actually disconnected. So my
current is coming here. It is just
traveling through the this path. When
this path is there, my diode is forward
bias. Again my current will go this way.
As the switch is closed, my current will
not go this way. So again it will travel
through the inductor. So this will be in
a loop.
Okay. This will be in a loop.
And unless what time? Unless this
inductor is getting discharged. Unless
it is getting discharged, what it is
going? My current will be in a loop. My
load will be constantly receiving a
current and it will slowly slowly slowly
discharge and it will go to the zero.
Before it is going to reach zero, I'll
again switch on this circuit. So what
happens again? My current will flow.
Current will come here. This is reverse
bias. My current will not go that side.
So it will go recharge it and it will
come back. load is getting supply and it
will close. Again I will remove my
switches. My conduct my inductor will be
in discharging in opposite polarity. So
this will become positive. Again this
will be in a loop again before getting
zero. So continuously I will switch on
and switch off my switch. So this is how
this is working. So if I do so what
happens? If I do so what happens is that
this is what it happens. So I am
constantly increasing my uh switching on
and switching off my circuit. So what
happens is my load is getting a RMS wise
it is getting a low voltage. How it is
getting a low voltage? Yes, just check
out this equation. My output wtage
output wtage means wtage across this
load that is given by supply voltage
into T on by T. This t on by t is called
as duty cycle.
This is t. Okay. So t on by t is duty
cycle. So my input is v out is equal v
out will be equal to vs into t on by t.
So by doing so what I am doing is that I
am see let us take an example. Let us
take two water uh one water can. Okay.
which is uh you have a tank and you have
a bucket. Your tank and the bucket is of
same capacity. Okay. Now you are just
turning on the tap. Now the tank is
fully drained at the same time. Your
bucket is full. It is fulling. So when
it is reaching the full let us take it
is taking 40 seconds. Now what you are
doing you are again refilling the tank.
You are now that for in that 40
secondond you are just switching on the
tap for 20 second and you are switching
off it for 20 second. Now the total
amount of work done time taken is 40
second but in this 40 secondond your
tank is not fully drained or your bucket
is not fully filled. It is of 50%age. So
you are reducing the amount of work
done. Okay, 50%age of work only done but
same time 40 second again in the 20
second again 10 10 for each 10 seconds
or 15 seconds you are going on on and
off on and off by doing so what you will
do is the total time you are taking the
total time you are taking is same but
whereas in infrequently you are
switching on and switching off because
of that the amount of work done is low
now when the amount of work done is low
average work done will be less So here
also what you are doing is you are
making the voltage to flow on and off in
different situation at a higher voltage
and lower voltage for the entire
operation the average output wtage you
got will be very less. So this is what
you're going to do correct. So this
equation states that only like based
upon your duty cycle based upon your
duty cycle the amount of voltage can be
increased or decreased based upon your
duty cycle that is how fast you are
turning on and turning off. How at what
sequence you are how much time you are
turning off and turning on you may
change the amount of output wtage you
have achieved. So now you just take this
example VS is 10 volt that is your
supply voltage is 10 volt T on T on is 7
second T off is T on plus T off that is
7 + 3 10. So what would be your V out?
seven. So the outputs are the answer is
coming as seven right
so all are uh texting as 7 volt so I
need not calculated maybe uh you are
good so because of that I'm believing
your answer it is to be 7 volt now your
input wtage was 10 volt you didn't do
anything you just turned on and turn off
the switch only other than that you
didn't do but out at the output you got
a output wtage of 7 volt am I correct so
what you have done your input was high
and your output was less okay this is
called as you're stepping down your
wtage correct now similarly you have so
I think most of you have texted a right
answer and I I'm happy to see that now I
just wanted to trigger your uh
calculative knowledge much more. So I'm
just giving this task also just put your
key on and off at any value. I just
wanted my V out to be greater than your
uh input wtage. That is your vol output
wtage should be more than 10 volt. You
have to mention me in the chat box about
T on second and T of second. Yes, just
One answer is came as not possible. If
somebody is making it possible, I will
be happy. Just mention me.
Repeat the question. Okay. Again, I am
repeating. So in the in my example, I
have given a t on and t of time. If you
substitute in that uh equation, you are
able to get 7 volt as an output. That is
your step down. Supply was 10 volt and
output wtage was 7 volt. Now I just
wanted some other options to be tried
out in T on and T off so that my VS will
be 10 volt and V not will be more than
13 volt if uh t on is 10 second and t
off is 3 seconds. Can anybody verify that?
Somebody claiming it to be a wrong answer.
So I think uh you are trying out very
hard and you are not able to find out
because I got seven as an answer very
fast. Many of you have replied but for
VSSs 10 volt
okay it's not possible sir many oh you
are giving maximum we get 10 volt if
duty cycle is 100%. Okay, good. So, what
you can understand? No, stop there.
Yeah. Okay, fine. Thank you. Many of you
have tried out. Very good. But uh and
you are able to find out we are not able
to go beyond that uh input wtage. Yes,
that is correct. Few good answers are
also coming like duty cycle maximum we
get is 10 volt if the duty cycle is 100%
which cannot that cannot be done because
the duty cycle should be on and off
period right that cannot be done. So I
understand these things. So why we are
not able to do is this is simply a
simple example of a chopper circuit.
Okay, this is a chopper circuit. We are
going to convert a DC to DC. But for
doing higher operations like either a
bringing a small voltage to a higher
voltage, we need to rebuild a circuit
according to our need. So that is what
we want. Okay. In rebuilding means you
don't you need not think like uh we are
going to go in for a complicated circuit
or different components and these things
it is going to be a headache like that.
You need not worry about it. Why?
Because whatever you have studied in the
morning session, those are the
components only available in an
electronics. Other than that, nothing
nothing else is there. Okay? You have to
rearrange the component in that way
only. And you have to operate the switch
in whatever pattern you want to do only.
But so other than that nothing is there.
If I give any circuit any complicated
circuit in the world now you are in a
position to debug it because you know
when a switch is on how the current is
going to flow when the current is going
to switch that particular component how
it will react when it is reacting
accordingly how my graph is going to be
there I'm very sure about it you know
these things so when you know these
things definitely you can crack down any
circuit so just I'm going into deeper
into this chopper circuit so here it is
so this is how a practical homemade that
is our labm made uh buck buck converter
is there here. So here you can see the
type of DC toDC converter. It is divided
into three types. One is buck converter
that naturally step downs your voltage
from the input wtage. The next one is
boost converter which actually steps up
your input to the output. Your output
will be more. And buck boost converter
that is the combination of bug as well
as boost. It can birectionally operate
in both the direction. Either it can
reduce the voltage and give you or it
can increase the voltage and give you.
Right? So this is the simple line
diagram of all the three circuits.
Right? You can find from this circuit
any any new component is there. Right?
Nothing. So
many all are the same components only.
Whatever components you are finding in
this circuit only it is there. Whatever
components you are finding in this
circuit only it is there here also.
Other than that no component is there.
So see about the components whatever you
have studied in the morning class only
it is there other than that no other
component is there. So it is again a
much more easy task for you to study
about these circuits right with this
confidence you just go into this buck
converter. Buck converter was the
converter we just saw right now for
explaining the chopper circuit that is
a switch will be there. From there I
will connect an inductor to the load.
The role of this capacitor is voltage
regulation. They do not have any
predominant role over here. If you have
this or do not have this, no problem.
This actually stabilizes the voltage.
Right? So this actually acts as a filter
or something like that. So it is used
for stabilization purpose only. So you
need not worry about these things. So
just the main components are your switch
diode, inductor and your resistor. So
you saw this mode of operation. One is
mode one is switch on. Switch one is on
and freewheing diode is off because when
the switch is on the role of freewheing
diode is not there because it is reverse
bias. So the role of reverse bi in the
reverse bias the diode will not turn on.
You know that and uh mode two is when
the switch is off now the diode is
forward biased. When the forward bias is
happening the current is going to be in
a loop. So if I do so these are my
output waveforms. My current is going to
be like this.
Whenever the inductor is discharging, my
current is discharging, right? So my
average output wtage will be lesser than
the input wtage. So this thing only we
have studied in the normal operation of
a chopper circuit.
If you see the mathematical approach
over here in both the state I'm going to
apply Kov's voltage law. By applying
Kov's voltage law I I know that when the
I is closed what happens to the voltage
and the duty cycle. And uh using the
sorry using the kit current law in both
the condition like opened state and the
closed state I will understand how what
would be my wtages and the sum of the
voltages uh currents and coming to
finally the sum of the wtages to be zero
that is kov's voltage if I equate with
this equation I'll be getting my output
wtage to be duty cycle into my input
wtage. So using this equation you'll be
able to find it out right what would be
your uh this thing and you have
calculated it and you have seen it also. So
So
next is the main thing is whenever you
are performing or constructing this type
of chopper the value chosen for inductor
is very very important because the
inductor value calculation is why that
much crucial because because of that
only you can just able to manage like
current current flow to be in a loop
till what period because you are fixing
this duty cycle right your t on and t
off period is decided by So according
when the when the circuit is in T off
period that is when the switch is off at
that time inductor should have the
capability to hold the current till the
other cycle other T on period is coming.
So based upon that you need to calculate
your inductor value in such a way that
your current current uh drop is not
going to reach this point. Instead it
has to maintain in this peak itself. It
will not it should not come to zero. So
that is your main aim. Based upon that
only you should calculate your inductor
value. Right? Next coming to boost
converter. Now what I am doing is I'm
just placing my this is my circuit
arrangement. I'm taking those three
components. I I took the switch from
here and kept here. And from that
inductor I have kept my inductor here. I
kept my diode here. This is my
arrangement I have made. Now again as
you did in the previous chopper circuit
that is buck converter you you just
perfor take some 30 to 40 minutes
analyze this circuit again the mode is
going to be switch is going to on and
switching is going to off. So when the
switch is on what is going to happen and
when the switch is off what is going to
happen right? So this is what you need
to analyze for another 30 to 40 second
and then again I will start explaining
the circuit. If it is matches with your
understanding then you're well and good.
If not just learn from what I'm doing.
Yeah just take some 30 to 40 minutes
So yes, I think you might have gone
through the circuit and you might have
known like when the circuit is on, when
the switch is on, what happens and when
the switch is off, what is going to
happen, right? So first thing I want to
ask a question when I switch on this
circuit when I bring this switch towards
this line I close the circuit what I am
capacitor
manybody everybody's asking about
capacitor capacitor as I said it is used
for voltage stability so the role is
very simple if you remove the capacitor
also it is not going to be an effect
so having a capacitor and not having a
capacitor doesn't make that change in
the working principle.
It is just stabilizing the voltage. So
you need not worry about it.
So it must be there in a boost
converter. So if you want to have a
capacitor in a boost converter well and
good you can have it. No issues. But if
you remove capacitor also that doesn't
make any influence on the performance or
see again I have told no here I have
added a capacitor similarly if you want
to add a capacitor here I am working for
explaining the working principle. So for
a working principle the role of
capacitor is
negligible. So I have just ignored it.
So if you want to have a capacitor
definitely you can have it. If you see
any practical buck or boost converter
capacitor will be there. I'm not telling
capacitor should will be eradicated or
capacitor should not be there. I'm
telling the capacitor will be there for
a working principle explanation
operation. It is not required to have a
circuit in a capacitor inside a circuit.
Okay. So now coming to the question when
I bringing this switch to the closed
position what I am doing actually to the circuit
My question is something different. Very
simple question. When I bring the switch
to the closed question, what I am
actually doing to the circuit? First
tell me that and then you can explain
about the working principle. First tell
me like first point when I switch the
when I make the switch to close what
actually I'm doing to the circuit. You have studied about different types of
have studied about different types of circuit in the morning session right? It
circuit in the morning session right? It should be within that. Just think and
should be within that. Just think and tell me the answer.
It is not closed path. Again I'm telling if a load is connected if the switch is
if a load is connected if the switch is not here then also it is closed path
not here then also it is closed path only because uh
only because uh your battery is connected to the load
your battery is connected to the load and load is closing. If the switch is
and load is closing. If the switch is not there also it is a closed circuit
not there also it is a closed circuit only. So it is closed path.
only. So it is closed path. So one answer I'm getting is short
So one answer I'm getting is short circuit. Is that correct or not?
Not dividing current. I'm not dividing the current there. Am I
I'm not dividing the current there. Am I making a short circuit or not? Just tell
making a short circuit or not? Just tell yes or no in your comment boxes.
Am I creating a short circuit in my circuit by switching on it?
circuit by switching on it? Am I doing a short circuit
Am I doing a short circuit or not?
or not? Yes. One answer. Yes.
What about others? I'm getting no one answer to be no.
I don't want any other answer other than yes or no.
yes or no. Am I creating a short circuit or not?
Am I creating a short circuit or not? Give me one answer. Yes or no? I don't
Give me one answer. Yes or no? I don't want justification.
Krisha, you only said it is short circuit. Now
you only said it is short circuit. Now you are telling no.
you are telling no. Previously I got all the answers to be
Previously I got all the answers to be yes. Yes. Yes. No. Everything is no. No.
yes. Yes. Yes. No. Everything is no. No. No.
What actually you are doing is short circuit? It is yes. The answer is yes
circuit? It is yes. The answer is yes only. Actually you are creating a short
only. Actually you are creating a short circuit only because you are just
circuit only because you are just connecting the positive and negative of
connecting the positive and negative of the battery terminal. Aren't you doing
the battery terminal. Aren't you doing that?
that? You are doing that you are creating a
You are doing that you are creating a short circuit. So since you are getting
short circuit. So since you are getting a creating a short circuit when the
a creating a short circuit when the switch is getting closed what actually
switch is getting closed what actually you are doing? What happens to the
you are doing? What happens to the circuit? What happens to the voltage and
circuit? What happens to the voltage and current
current in a short short circuit? What happens
in a short short circuit? What happens to the voltage and current?
current is maximum and voltage is zero. Yes. So now current is maximum and
Yes. So now current is maximum and voltage is zero. So when the current is
voltage is zero. So when the current is maximum what happens to the inductor?
maximum what happens to the inductor? Aren't you making the inductor to charge
Aren't you making the inductor to charge to its maximum value?
So one this is once this is charged to the maximum value now you are turning it
the maximum value now you are turning it off. Now what happens the voltage is
off. Now what happens the voltage is coming the inductors are charged and it
coming the inductors are charged and it is when this is going to
is when this is going to open inductor start starts to discharge
open inductor start starts to discharge but you are not allowing it to
but you are not allowing it to discharge. Okay so when you are getting
discharge. Okay so when you are getting uh sorry when this switch is on the
uh sorry when this switch is on the inductor will try to discharge correct
inductor will try to discharge correct or not. So but when it tries to
or not. So but when it tries to discharge it you it will not discharge.
discharge it you it will not discharge. Why? Because its input terminal are
Why? Because its input terminal are connected to the voltage
connected to the voltage battery terminal. So what happens is
battery terminal. So what happens is this will draw a current and similarly
this will draw a current and similarly since it is short circuited as a
since it is short circuited as a previous point. This inductor is again
previous point. This inductor is again charged to the maximum value. Now both
charged to the maximum value. Now both will add upon and come here. your diode
will add upon and come here. your diode is forward bias and it will reach the
is forward bias and it will reach the load which actually makes the amount of
load which actually makes the amount of voltage to flow through it to a higher
voltage to flow through it to a higher value. So this is the basic work
value. So this is the basic work principle. Okay. First thing what you
principle. Okay. First thing what you are doing is you are just making the
are doing is you are just making the inductor to charge very fast to its
inductor to charge very fast to its maximum value. After that you are
maximum value. After that you are switching off means your voltage will
switching off means your voltage will get your short circuit is getting
get your short circuit is getting released and your voltage will start
released and your voltage will start current will start to flow through the
current will start to flow through the inductor from the voltage. Now your
inductor from the voltage. Now your voltages uh average wtages will add upon
voltages uh average wtages will add upon each values and it will try to boost the
each values and it will try to boost the regular input wtage value. So this is
regular input wtage value. So this is the basic work principle of your boost
the basic work principle of your boost converter. See here. So the first mode
converter. See here. So the first mode is your switch is on. Now the inductor
is your switch is on. Now the inductor is charged now. The inductor is charged
is charged now. The inductor is charged now and your current is not flowing
now and your current is not flowing through this. Now what happens is you
through this. Now what happens is you are just going to switch off it. When
are just going to switch off it. When you switch off it now from the positive
you switch off it now from the positive the diode is coming to the load and it
the diode is coming to the load and it is going just what you are doing is you
is going just what you are doing is you are making the inductor
your inductor to charge more at this instant. Now the inductor is charged for
instant. Now the inductor is charged for higher higher potential.
higher higher potential. Now when the switch is off obviously if
Now when the switch is off obviously if you disconnect it from this point then
you disconnect it from this point then only the inductor will discharge but
only the inductor will discharge but since it is getting connected and you
since it is getting connected and you are making the path flow to be higher
are making the path flow to be higher here. The voltage also will flow from
here. The voltage also will flow from here and it is not disconnected. So the
here and it is not disconnected. So the voltage also will flow from here. So
voltage also will flow from here. So from this positive to negative the
from this positive to negative the current will flow in this loop only. Now
current will flow in this loop only. Now this makes the inductor to
this makes the inductor to add upon the voltage and give at the
add upon the voltage and give at the base terminal. So this is what actually
base terminal. So this is what actually you are making it to boost the voltage
you are making it to boost the voltage RMS voltage. Right? If you see it in a
RMS voltage. Right? If you see it in a closed path here in a mathematical way
closed path here in a mathematical way see here when the I is closed okay your
see here when the I is closed okay your voltage and inductor will into duty
voltage and inductor will into duty cycle by your time. Now when the switch
cycle by your time. Now when the switch is open now again by applying your K KCL
is open now again by applying your K KCL if you see your output wtage equation
if you see your output wtage equation will be in this way. So applying KVL the
will be in this way. So applying KVL the summation of open and closed state will
summation of open and closed state will be equal to zero. If you equate this
be equal to zero. If you equate this both the value to zero you'll be getting
both the value to zero you'll be getting the final equations to be V by VN will
the final equations to be V by VN will be 1 by 1 minus your duty cycle. Okay.
be 1 by 1 minus your duty cycle. Okay. So in that case if you apply your
So in that case if you apply your voltage and check you can find your
voltage and check you can find your based upon your duty cycle if you vary
based upon your duty cycle if you vary the duty cycle and check you'll be
the duty cycle and check you'll be getting an increased output wtage. Okay
getting an increased output wtage. Okay so this is how your boost boost uh
so this is how your boost boost uh converter will be working that is your
converter will be working that is your step up voltage.
step up voltage. So here also the calculation of your
So here also the calculation of your inductor is very very important. So
inductor is very very important. So based upon your inductor value only what
based upon your inductor value only what you can achieve is that you can get a
you can achieve is that you can get a how much amount of current it can work
how much amount of current it can work to with which time that is depending
to with which time that is depending upon this inductor value. Again I'm
upon this inductor value. Again I'm telling the calculation of this inductor
telling the calculation of this inductor is very very important. So the as you
is very very important. So the as you know once the value of inductor is
know once the value of inductor is connected calculated what you have to do
connected calculated what you have to do is inductor is what a core will be there
is inductor is what a core will be there over that a wind wire will be wounded.
over that a wind wire will be wounded. So based upon the number of turns you
So based upon the number of turns you can increase the inductance value. So
can increase the inductance value. So you can just if time permits in this
you can just if time permits in this session I means in this course of time
session I means in this course of time like for this five days if time permits
like for this five days if time permits we may also have a demo like how to
we may also have a demo like how to check this inverter using any simulation
check this inverter using any simulation tool that thing also we'll be doing it
tool that thing also we'll be doing it right. So choice of inductor is very
right. So choice of inductor is very very important in a case of your bug as
very important in a case of your bug as well as boost converter. Now coming to
well as boost converter. Now coming to bug boost converter. So these are few
bug boost converter. So these are few modules which are available readyly in
modules which are available readyly in market. So
market. So so this could be your circuit over here
so this could be your circuit over here right. So
right. So here you have a switch and in this case
here you have a switch and in this case you are going to connect a inductor in
you are going to connect a inductor in parallel to the load and your input and
parallel to the load and your input and you have a diode over there. So again as
you have a diode over there. So again as you did in the previous two
you did in the previous two circuits in this circuit also what you
circuits in this circuit also what you have to do you have to just switch on
have to do you have to just switch on and switch off your t switches. So there
and switch off your t switches. So there would be two modes one is switch on and
would be two modes one is switch on and one is switch off. So you're going to
one is switch off. So you're going to adjust the duty cycle by actually what
adjust the duty cycle by actually what you're doing by switching on switching
you're doing by switching on switching off is you are adjusting the duty cycle.
off is you are adjusting the duty cycle. Okay. So by uh duty cycle you are
Okay. So by uh duty cycle you are adjusting in certain way that your
adjusting in certain way that your switches will be on for certain time and
switches will be on for certain time and off for certain time. Is that clear? So
off for certain time. Is that clear? So in that mode
so please do slowly because we are non electrical students. Okay. Actually I'm
electrical students. Okay. Actually I'm going slow only according to myself but
going slow only according to myself but again okay I'll take some time to
again okay I'll take some time to explain this circuit also then see here
explain this circuit also then see here this switch now you are going to turn it
this switch now you are going to turn it on and turn it off that is the duty
on and turn it off that is the duty cycle dut you are controlling the
cycle dut you are controlling the circuit by means of duty cycle you are
circuit by means of duty cycle you are you have you don't have any other
you have you don't have any other controlling option because your aim is
controlling option because your aim is to here if some voltage is given here
to here if some voltage is given here you have to get some voltage that is it
you have to get some voltage that is it this voltage voltage is given by the
this voltage voltage is given by the source. This voltage is utilized by the
source. This voltage is utilized by the load that is any application.
load that is any application. Correct? So you have built this circuit.
Correct? So you have built this circuit. You have only option to control over the
You have only option to control over the circuit is on and off period of the
circuit is on and off period of the switches. So that is called on and off
switches. So that is called on and off period of the switches is called as duty
period of the switches is called as duty cycle. The thing which is you are going
cycle. The thing which is you are going to perform by switching on and switching
to perform by switching on and switching off the circuit is called as duty cycle.
off the circuit is called as duty cycle. So whatever you are going to control in
So whatever you are going to control in the circuit it is by means of duty
the circuit it is by means of duty cycle. So through duty cycle you are
cycle. So through duty cycle you are going to switch it on and switch it off.
going to switch it on and switch it off. Right?
Right? So I'm going to analyze the circuit now
So I'm going to analyze the circuit now when the switch is on. So when the
when the switch is on. So when the switch is on what happens this circuit
switch is on what happens this circuit is becoming a closed circuit. When the
is becoming a closed circuit. When the circuit is being closed circuit and the
circuit is being closed circuit and the load is connected my current will start
load is connected my current will start to flow. So my current is flowing from
to flow. So my current is flowing from positive to to negative through load.
positive to to negative through load. Now from positive it is traveling
Now from positive it is traveling through the switch. switch is on now.
through the switch. switch is on now. Now it is coming here. Now inductor is
Now it is coming here. Now inductor is charged. Okay. When I when it it is
charged. Okay. When I when it it is traveling to this part, this part the
traveling to this part, this part the diode is what happening? Diode is
diode is what happening? Diode is reverse bias. When the diode is reverse
reverse bias. When the diode is reverse bias, you all know diode will not turn
bias, you all know diode will not turn on. Now the inductor is getting charged.
on. Now the inductor is getting charged. Totally it will get charged and till
Totally it will get charged and till then the current is not going to the
then the current is not going to the load. Okay, it is getting charged and
load. Okay, it is getting charged and this will stay at this path. Now I am
this will stay at this path. Now I am switching off the circuit. That is I'm
switching off the circuit. That is I'm turning off this circuit off.
When I'm turning off, now what happens? The inductor will change its polarity.
The inductor will change its polarity. Okay. When the current was giving, this
Okay. When the current was giving, this was positive and this was negative.
was positive and this was negative. Correct? Here it is positive and here it
Correct? Here it is positive and here it is negative. Now while discharging this
is negative. Now while discharging this has to become positive and this has to
has to become positive and this has to become negative. So from positive to
become negative. So from positive to negative the current will always travel
negative the current will always travel through the load. So from positive the
through the load. So from positive the inductor is discharging. Now it is going
inductor is discharging. Now it is going to the load and the current is coming
to the load and the current is coming here. It is forward by us and it will
here. It is forward by us and it will close here. And this current will be in
close here. And this current will be in a loop. Okay. This current is going to
a loop. Okay. This current is going to be in a loop unless and until what time?
be in a loop unless and until what time? Unless and until your inductor is
Unless and until your inductor is getting discharged totally to zero
getting discharged totally to zero value. So what we will do before it is
value. So what we will do before it is going to get a zero value we will again
going to get a zero value we will again turn off the switch. So this is how in
turn off the switch. So this is how in all the three switch in all the three
all the three switch in all the three types of choppers the mode of operation
types of choppers the mode of operation will be there. Why the mode of operation
will be there. Why the mode of operation is same in all the type of choppers
is same in all the type of choppers because again I'm repeating the same
because again I'm repeating the same thing. This is a circuit. This circuit
thing. This is a circuit. This circuit you are going to place in between a load
you are going to place in between a load and the supply. You don't have any
and the supply. You don't have any freedom of changing in input or an
freedom of changing in input or an output. You can change everything. You
output. You can change everything. You can play and you can change everything
can play and you can change everything within the circuit what you have built.
within the circuit what you have built. This is this is the circuit which I have
This is this is the circuit which I have built. This input I have not built and
built. This input I have not built and this load I have not built. I am talking
this load I have not built. I am talking about practical scenario. In a practical
about practical scenario. In a practical scenario, battery will be there. You'll
scenario, battery will be there. You'll be having any application like fan or
be having any application like fan or light or any uh infotainment or any
light or any uh infotainment or any any other application air condition or
any other application air condition or anything. So you are going to place your
anything. So you are going to place your buck to boost converter in between
buck to boost converter in between battery and this load. This load is also
battery and this load. This load is also not decided by you. This voltage input
not decided by you. This voltage input is also not decided by you. But your
is also not decided by you. But your task is you need to match this wtage.
task is you need to match this wtage. You have to take some voltage from this
You have to take some voltage from this side and you have to give to this side
side and you have to give to this side by means of adjusting your circuit
by means of adjusting your circuit parameter only. What is the parameter
parameter only. What is the parameter which I can change in my circuit is that
which I can change in my circuit is that only the duty cycle of the switch. The
only the duty cycle of the switch. The duty cycle of the switch means what? The
duty cycle of the switch means what? The turn on and turn off period of my
turn on and turn off period of my switch. So by doing that what happens?
switch. So by doing that what happens? First I am analyzing it. So I have I
First I am analyzing it. So I have I have analyzed when the switch is off.
have analyzed when the switch is off. When the switch is off nothing is going
When the switch is off nothing is going to happen. So I'm going to now switch on
to happen. So I'm going to now switch on it. Now I'm switch oning it. When I
it. Now I'm switch oning it. When I switch on it, the current is coming
switch on it, the current is coming here. This diode is reverse bias. The
here. This diode is reverse bias. The entire current will go through this path
entire current will go through this path only. So the inductor is getting charged
only. So the inductor is getting charged and this will be in a charging mode. Now
and this will be in a charging mode. Now when I turn the switch off, what
when I turn the switch off, what happens? My inductor is getting
happens? My inductor is getting discharged in the opposite polarity. So
discharged in the opposite polarity. So my current direction will be in this go
my current direction will be in this go to the load and it will through the
to the load and it will through the diode. It will again close in a loop and
diode. It will again close in a loop and it will be in a loop.
it will be in a loop. So before this inductor is totally
So before this inductor is totally drained out and your current value is
drained out and your current value is becoming totally zero, I will again
becoming totally zero, I will again switch on the circuit and make the
switch on the circuit and make the inductor to charge. So this I'll be
inductor to charge. So this I'll be continuously repeating. By doing that,
continuously repeating. By doing that, what happens to the output wtage? This
what happens to the output wtage? This is what we are going to check. Now
is what we are going to check. Now this was my mode. So when my switch is
this was my mode. So when my switch is on and my switch is off, whatever I had
on and my switch is off, whatever I had told I just represented in a
told I just represented in a diagrammatic way.
diagrammatic way. So when the circuit is off I and on I
So when the circuit is off I and on I get this equation that is my output
get this equation that is my output wtage by input wtage is minus duty cycle
wtage by input wtage is minus duty cycle by divided by 1 minus duty cycle. Okay.
by divided by 1 minus duty cycle. Okay. So
so this is my output equation. from this output equation if I derive my output
output equation if I derive my output input uh with respect to input wtage
input uh with respect to input wtage I'll be getting certain values so how it
I'll be getting certain values so how it is going to operate that is what we are
is going to operate that is what we are going to study now so in this how you
going to study now so in this how you are operating how I can operate it buck
are operating how I can operate it buck as well as boost if you see the output
as well as boost if you see the output wtage itself you'll be understanding it
wtage itself you'll be understanding it is actually the
is actually the uh combination of your buck as well as
uh combination of your buck as well as boost right so previously it was d into
boost right so previously it was d into vin for buck and 1 - 1 by D for V out
vin for buck and 1 - 1 by D for V out for a boost converter. So now it is a
for a boost converter. So now it is a combination of both. So in this case
combination of both. So in this case only simple thing what you have to
only simple thing what you have to remember is that we know that duty cycle
remember is that we know that duty cycle always varies from because you you found
always varies from because you you found it right? You found it. Okay. So you
it right? You found it. Okay. So you have concluded like through the duty
have concluded like through the duty cycle only you will be able you are you
cycle only you will be able you are you will be able to reduce the voltage in
will be able to reduce the voltage in the first very first chopper circuit.
the first very first chopper circuit. You concluded like through duty cycle
You concluded like through duty cycle you are you you will be able to adjust
you are you you will be able to adjust the voltage range correct then you you
the voltage range correct then you you yourself concluded another point that is
yourself concluded another point that is I cannot go duty cycle more than one
I cannot go duty cycle more than one because I need to get t on by t off okay
because I need to get t on by t off okay so t I should have t on period also and
so t I should have t on period also and I should have t period also in that case
I should have t period also in that case what I should have I uh if my t on
what I should have I uh if my t on period itself is existing or t of period
period itself is existing or t of period itself existing then only I'll be
itself existing then only I'll be getting an option of more than one. So
getting an option of more than one. So in that case I'm just I we we concluded
in that case I'm just I we we concluded like your duty cycle will be 0 to 1.
like your duty cycle will be 0 to 1. Correct. In this particular circuit if
Correct. In this particular circuit if you are maintaining your duty cycle from
you are maintaining your duty cycle from 0 to 50% that is 0 to.5 value. If your
0 to 50% that is 0 to.5 value. If your DD cycle is 0.5 okay 0 to 0.5 then your
DD cycle is 0.5 okay 0 to 0.5 then your output wtage is larger than your input
output wtage is larger than your input wtage that is your output wtage is huger
wtage that is your output wtage is huger and input wtage is lesser that is you
and input wtage is lesser that is you are boosting if your duty cycle is less
are boosting if your duty cycle is less than 0.05 05 that is 0.5 to 0. Here it
than 0.05 05 that is 0.5 to 0. Here it is 0.5 to 1 and here it is 0 to 0.5. If
is 0.5 to 1 and here it is 0 to 0.5. If it is there then your input wtage is
it is there then your input wtage is small sorry your output wtage is smaller
small sorry your output wtage is smaller than your input wtage that means you are
than your input wtage that means you are step downing. To sum up this point if
step downing. To sum up this point if your duty cycle is 0 to.5 0 to 50%age
your duty cycle is 0 to.5 0 to 50%age then this will behave as a buck
then this will behave as a buck converter. If your duty cycle is 0.5 to
converter. If your duty cycle is 0.5 to 1 then this is called as this will
1 then this is called as this will behave as boost converter. So in this
behave as boost converter. So in this one circuit you will be able to operate
one circuit you will be able to operate either a buck converter or a boost
either a buck converter or a boost converter based upon your duty cycle.
converter based upon your duty cycle. Is that clear?
So this is where we are ending about the chopper. Chopper means what? you'll be
chopper. Chopper means what? you'll be able to convert DC circuit to a fixed DC
able to convert DC circuit to a fixed DC value to a variable DC value or variable
value to a variable DC value or variable DC value to a fixed decision
DC value to a fixed decision is made. So are are you understanding
is made. So are are you understanding the concept of chopper here?
Yeah, cut converter is also acting on the both right but I am what I am trying
the both right but I am what I am trying to convey through this slides or I
to convey through this slides or I cannot go with different types of
cannot go with different types of converters. Okay. I can I I I we we have
converters. Okay. I can I I I we we have different types of uh with switching
different types of uh with switching arrangement to achieve this uh cir to be
arrangement to achieve this uh cir to be very frank nowadays we are not going to
very frank nowadays we are not going to use this sort of circuit also because we
use this sort of circuit also because we are having one circuit from that circuit
are having one circuit from that circuit we are we will be able to switch on and
we are we will be able to switch on and switch off different types of control
switch off different types of control modules through our programs. We will be
modules through our programs. We will be able to access different types of uh
able to access different types of uh circuit component from different
circuit component from different circuit. uh that is if I making a entire
circuit. uh that is if I making a entire circuit board and from there I'm just
circuit board and from there I'm just going to control that circuit board I'm
going to control that circuit board I'm going to utilize for a buck converter
going to utilize for a buck converter means I can do that from that circuit if
means I can do that from that circuit if I want to make it as a rectifier means I
I want to make it as a rectifier means I can do that that I can do by means of my
can do that that I can do by means of my processing processes through my
processing processes through my programming through my switch on and
programming through my switch on and switch off technique I can operate the
switch off technique I can operate the same circuit in different way okay so in
same circuit in different way okay so in that case here what I'm trying to do is
that case here what I'm trying to do is that I'm not trying to show because in
that I'm not trying to show because in your exam examination point of view or
your exam examination point of view or academic point of view. You may study
academic point of view. You may study about different types of converters
about different types of converters right but we are not worried about that
right but we are not worried about that in practical scenario what it is we are
in practical scenario what it is we are need to understand the principle that is
need to understand the principle that is what our aim so so I am resting it to
what our aim so so I am resting it to restricting it to bug as well as boost
restricting it to bug as well as boost whatever converter you're going to use
whatever converter you're going to use you are just going to do one thing only
you are just going to do one thing only you are going to transmit the DC power
you are going to transmit the DC power from battery to other components for
from battery to other components for transmitting it either you are going to
transmitting it either you are going to use a buck converter sorry you are going
use a buck converter sorry you are going to operate the converter in a buck mode
to operate the converter in a buck mode or boost mode that is you're going to
or boost mode that is you're going to step up the voltage or step down the
step up the voltage or step down the voltage according to your application.
voltage according to your application. So there there by themsel there there
So there there by themsel there there only I'm concluding my point. So I you
only I'm concluding my point. So I you I'm just explaining the principle of how
I'm just explaining the principle of how this is happening to be a step up and
this is happening to be a step up and step down thing. I'm not worried about
step down thing. I'm not worried about different types of thing.
different types of thing. So that's why I have chosen these
So that's why I have chosen these things.
So I found few comments like uh today's stuff is more heavy so please try to
stuff is more heavy so please try to conclude it. Is that in the same way for
conclude it. Is that in the same way for others also?
others also? If it is for others also it is in the
If it is for others also it is in the same way then I will try to conclude
same way then I will try to conclude here. We may discuss some general points
here. We may discuss some general points and we may conclude it.
If you want to go forward then I can go with rectifier and inverter today.
Can you plan please share your uh departments? I see like different uh you
departments? I see like different uh you are from non-elect electrical also. So
are from non-elect electrical also. So can you get some can I get some
can you get some can I get some information about your department?
EC mechanical
Easy. Okay. I understand you are from different uh branches.
different uh branches. So
according to me if uh if I conclude here uh will that be okay
if I conclude here uh will that be okay because uh still I think I have a half
because uh still I think I have a half not of time.
Okay I think majority majority students are asking uh me to conclude over here.
Okay. Till here I think uh I'm getting some
Okay. So I I think like uh some relevant points sensible points are there. If you
points sensible points are there. If you cover less topic it will be helpful for
cover less topic it will be helpful for us to understand.
us to understand. Okay. I will take it in a positive note.
Okay. I will take it in a positive note. Okay then fine. I think we will
Okay then fine. I think we will conclude. Shall I conclude now
Okay. What I understand is that uh till 4 p.m. few peoples are
really interested to go through it. So maybe what I can do is that if those who
maybe what I can do is that if those who are really interested to for this class
are really interested to for this class you may
you may go in for shoot out few questions I may
go in for shoot out few questions I may answer for it. Maybe maybe we can have
answer for it. Maybe maybe we can have that sort of a session for another 10 to
that sort of a session for another 10 to 15 minutes and then we'll end up just
15 minutes and then we'll end up just shoot your questions whatever you want
shoot your questions whatever you want to ask to me I will just answer for the
to ask to me I will just answer for the questions
see again PPT sharing uh that academy will be doing for you I am ready to
will be doing for you I am ready to share to them okay
My name is Karun Silva. I have told already
here I have concluded technically if you want to ask any question you may just
want to ask any question you may just ask shoot up few questions regarding the
ask shoot up few questions regarding the subject or anything else
DC to DC converter in simple way what we can keep in mind sir
can keep in mind sir I'm not getting your question in the
I'm not getting your question in the right way but uh I'll just take it in
right way but uh I'll just take it in this way. I am understanding in a way.
this way. I am understanding in a way. I'll just go in a flow. What you maybe
I'll just go in a flow. What you maybe your question is
your question is simple or DC to DC converter what and
simple or DC to DC converter what and all I should keep it in in my mind.
all I should keep it in in my mind. Maybe I will take it in this this way.
Maybe I will take it in this this way. Few points I can uh shoot out like that.
Few points I can uh shoot out like that. So you are if you are going to have a DC
So you are if you are going to have a DC toDC converter the common name used for
toDC converter the common name used for DC toDC converter is chopper. You may
DC toDC converter is chopper. You may you have to keep that in mind and your
you have to keep that in mind and your duty your uh DC converters the choppers
duty your uh DC converters the choppers are controlled through duty cycle. Duty
are controlled through duty cycle. Duty cycle is a diff important terminology.
cycle is a diff important terminology. So duty cycle is nothing but t on by t
So duty cycle is nothing but t on by t total time that is t on by t on plus t
total time that is t on by t on plus t off that is the total on time divided by
off that is the total on time divided by total time period of on plus off. Okay.
total time period of on plus off. Okay. So that is actually the duty cycle.
So that is actually the duty cycle. Based upon the duty cycle only you'll be
Based upon the duty cycle only you'll be able to get how much amount of step down
able to get how much amount of step down percentage or step up percentage you can
percentage or step up percentage you can make. Okay. So based upon the duty cycle
make. Okay. So based upon the duty cycle only you can come to a conclusion like
only you can come to a conclusion like for if my voltage is 10 volt if I'm
for if my voltage is 10 volt if I'm going to make it as 8 volt or 4 volt or
going to make it as 8 volt or 4 volt or 6 volt in a case of step down. Similarly
6 volt in a case of step down. Similarly if it is 10 volt I making going to make
if it is 10 volt I making going to make it as 12 volt or 14 volt 16 volt that is
it as 12 volt or 14 volt 16 volt that is dependent upon the duty cycle both in
dependent upon the duty cycle both in the step up and step down buck as well
the step up and step down buck as well as boost. Okay but if you take the
as boost. Okay but if you take the current current waveform current should
current current waveform current should not go zero. Okay current should not go
not go zero. Okay current should not go to zero because if current is going to
to zero because if current is going to zero your application will switch off.
zero your application will switch off. So we should not make the current to go
So we should not make the current to go to zero for because I am going to switch
to zero for because I am going to switch off my voltage at that time. My current
off my voltage at that time. My current should not go to zero. I my ultimate is
should not go to zero. I my ultimate is making the voltage to go go zero. I
making the voltage to go go zero. I should not make the current to zero. For
should not make the current to zero. For that only what I'm doing I am utilizing
that only what I'm doing I am utilizing a inductor there. So when I utilize an
a inductor there. So when I utilize an inductor there my inductor is taking
inductor there my inductor is taking care of giving the necessary current to
care of giving the necessary current to the load. So when my inductor is giving
the load. So when my inductor is giving necessary current to my load, my load is
necessary current to my load, my load is not turning off but I am switching by
not turning off but I am switching by making the open circuit I making the
making the open circuit I making the voltage to become zero. So when the
voltage to become zero. So when the voltage is becoming zero, my average
voltage is becoming zero, my average voltage if I calculate it is becoming
voltage if I calculate it is becoming less or more. So this is what I am
less or more. So this is what I am doing. So somebody was know capacitor
doing. So somebody was know capacitor should be there should not be there. See
should be there should not be there. See again I'm telling capacitor is choice of
again I'm telling capacitor is choice of yours. If you see a practical chopper
yours. If you see a practical chopper capacitors will be there but for a
capacitors will be there but for a working principle the role of capacitor
working principle the role of capacitor is not there because the role of
is not there because the role of capacitor is to stabilize the voltage.
capacitor is to stabilize the voltage. Okay. So I am here to explain about how
Okay. So I am here to explain about how the system works. For the system works
the system works. For the system works if you see in the equations also there
if you see in the equations also there will not be any equation related to
will not be any equation related to capacitors.
capacitors. It will be related to inductor only.
It will be related to inductor only. Role of inductor will not be in equation
Role of inductor will not be in equation because working principle does not
because working principle does not depend upon capacitor. Capacitor is
depend upon capacitor. Capacitor is nothing but it has it will be regulating
nothing but it has it will be regulating the voltage but for working we are
the voltage but for working we are concentrating on providing the current
concentrating on providing the current to the load that is done by inductor. So
to the load that is done by inductor. So the importance of inductor is there but
the importance of inductor is there but the importance of capacitor is reduced
the importance of capacitor is reduced there. So choice of duty cycle the
there. So choice of duty cycle the important points in chopper is choice of
important points in chopper is choice of switch that is duty cycle and choice of
switch that is duty cycle and choice of inductor and where you place that
inductor and where you place that inductor and the common name is chopper
inductor and the common name is chopper and duty cycle ratio when the duty cycle
and duty cycle ratio when the duty cycle is 0 to 50% it should be in bug 50 to 1%
is 0 to 50% it should be in bug 50 to 1% it will be in boost. So these are the
it will be in boost. So these are the key points that you has to remember uh
key points that you has to remember uh with regard to DC toDC converter and
with regard to DC toDC converter and then uh
then uh we can use stepper motor to control
we can use stepper motor to control firing angle. No to control stepper
firing angle. No to control stepper motor by using firing angle you can do
motor by using firing angle you can do that. Okay.
uh thank you for simple actually my my explanations are simple only I am
explanations are simple only I am actually explaining conceptually only if
actually explaining conceptually only if I go into technical part the other
I go into technical part the other department domain students will get
department domain students will get irritated so I'm just going in an
irritated so I'm just going in an application oriented way and
application oriented way and conceptually
conceptually okay so it is conceptually I'm
okay so it is conceptually I'm explaining it so that even the subject
explaining it so that even the subject handling even the students who are
handling even the students who are familiar to this the way of expl my
familiar to this the way of expl my explanation is something related to
explanation is something related to application way and conceptual way. So
application way and conceptual way. So they will also understand in a different
they will also understand in a different aspect. So my aim is that only. So
aspect. So my aim is that only. So actually this session is planned till a
actually this session is planned till a practical oriented way also. Uh there is
practical oriented way also. Uh there is a demonstration of these type of
a demonstration of these type of circuits in MATLAB simulation. How you
circuits in MATLAB simulation. How you can vary the value and how you can just
can vary the value and how you can just interestingly create a circuit. these
interestingly create a circuit. these things we are planning to do it but as
things we are planning to do it but as the session is going on right if you are
the session is going on right if you are not asking me to conclude uh much
not asking me to conclude uh much earlier I will still go on with further
earlier I will still go on with further demonstrations so you should also
demonstrations so you should also understand those points
understand those points so if you are just asking me to conclude
so if you are just asking me to conclude what I will do is I'll just make the
what I will do is I'll just make the content to be much more uh smaller
content to be much more uh smaller content
content right so but I can understand your point
right so but I can understand your point also if I go in for more uh this thing
also if I go in for more uh this thing uh technically
uh technically deeper and more content in a single day.
deeper and more content in a single day. For grasping it will be more difficult.
For grasping it will be more difficult. I understand that. But uh maybe uh you
I understand that. But uh maybe uh you can just try it out. You can check it
can just try it out. You can check it out. Maybe from tomorrow we you may be
out. Maybe from tomorrow we you may be prepared mentally like you can learn
prepared mentally like you can learn more or something else so that we can
more or something else so that we can from tomorrow you will be having some
from tomorrow you will be having some brainstorming sessions and uh hands-on
brainstorming sessions and uh hands-on like demo sessions. Maybe you will be
like demo sessions. Maybe you will be interested on that. Maybe you may learn
interested on that. Maybe you may learn more. This session was an basically
more. This session was an basically introductory plus technical session. So
introductory plus technical session. So it took theoretically from tomorrow we
it took theoretically from tomorrow we will be having some demo sessions.
So I kindly request everybody to be present tomorrow on time. First point
present tomorrow on time. First point and the next point is be prepared that
and the next point is be prepared that your session is going to be for 2 hours
your session is going to be for 2 hours for sure. Is that clear?
So I think few questions were asked and I have
few questions were asked and I have answered for the questions. So tomorrow
answered for the questions. So tomorrow you are going to see about rectifiers
you are going to see about rectifiers and inverters continuing with the demo
and inverters continuing with the demo of those rectifiers and inverters. Is
of those rectifiers and inverters. Is that clear? So when that is being done
that clear? So when that is being done we will go in for motors
we will go in for motors and uh finally we will conclude it with
and uh finally we will conclude it with embedded system programming and coding.
embedded system programming and coding. So this is our plan as I said in the
So this is our plan as I said in the morning itself. So again I'm repeating
morning itself. So again I'm repeating the same thing be on time and don't
the same thing be on time and don't insist me to conclude earlier instead be
insist me to conclude earlier instead be prepared like you are being comfortable
