Abstract
Four quadrants DC chopper systems are widely used in dc drive traction for electric vehicles. However, detail information on the design and method of operation for the systems were rarely addressed in the research literature. Accordingly, this study aimed to contribute on a new topology of a Four Quadrants Drive DC Chopper for separately excited dc motor. The chopper is designed to operate in five operation modes; driving, field weakening, generation, regenerative braking and resistive braking for the application of a low cost Electric Vehicle. The chopper modes of operation are further described and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Results on chopper performance, i.e. switching power losses, ripple torque and current, voltage drop and output power, regenerative braking power and control were discussed. The proposed chopper operations have been verified through experimental setup and the chopper is observed to be capable of performing the expected operations.
