Jones Chopper

  • The capacitor initially charges with upper plate positive and lower plate negative.  
  • When the SCR T1 is turned on, the load current flows through path (+)Vdc  – T1 – L2 – MOTOR ARMATURE  – Vdc (–). 
  • The capacitor discharges through path (+)C – T1 – L1 – D1 – C(–). Once capacitor discharges, it will again charges with reverse polarity with upper plate negative and lower plate positive.  
  • The stored energy of load flows through freewheeling diode when SCR T1 is turned off. 
  • The SCR T1 gets reverse voltage and turned off when SCR T2 is turned on. The load current flows through path (+)Vdc  – C – T2 – L2 – MOTOR ARMATURE – Vdc (–). 
  • As the load current flows, the capacitor again charges with upper plate positive and lower plate negative. 
  • When the voltage across capacitor is equal to supply voltage, the charging current of capacitor is less than the holding current therefore the SCR T2 is turned off.

  • When SCR T1 is turned on once again cycle will repeat. 
  • The speed of the motor in the range of maximum to minimum can be achieved by switching of SCR T1 frequently or by adjusting its duty cycle
