Type D Chopper ( Class D Chopper )

Working
  • The two quadrant type B chopper or type D chopper is shown in the figure A. 
  • This chopper works in first as well as fourth quadrant therefore the output current remain positive but output voltage may be either positive or negative. 
  • The polarity of output voltage depends upon chopper ON time and chopper OFF time. When
             TON > TOFF – Output voltage positive
             TON < TOFF – Output current negative
             TON = TOFF – Output voltage zero
First quadrant
  • When chopper CH1 and CH2 both are switched on simultaneously, the current flows through path (+)Vdc – A – CH1 – B – LOAD – CH2 – Vdc( – ). 
  • The voltage across load is equal to Vdc and current increases exponentially. 
  • The chopper works in first quadrant because the output voltage and output current both are positive.
Fourth quadrant
  • When chopper CH1 and CH2 both are switched off simultaneously, the diode D1 and D2 forward biased and current flows through path B – LOAD – D2 – D –  (+)Vdc  – Vdc( – ) – C – D1 – B. 
  • The chopper works in fourth quadrant because the output voltage negative and output current positive becomes positive.
  • The application of type D chopper is in the forward motoring and regenerative braking of motor. The output voltage and current waveform is shown in the figure B.type d chopper
