A class A chopper drive operates in

  • A.one quadrant only
  • B.two quadrants
  • C.all four quadrants of the torque-speed plane without restriction
  • D.no quadrant at all

Answer: A

Correct answer: one quadrant only

A class A chopper has a single switch and a freewheeling diode, so the armature voltage and the current can both be of one sign only. It can therefore motor in one direction and nothing else - no braking, no reversal. It is the simplest and cheapest arrangement and suits a fan or pump drive that never needs to be braked or reversed.
