Regenerative braking of a chopper-fed dc drive requires

  • A.a resistance to be connected across the armature of the machine
  • B.the field of the machine to be reversed during the braking period
  • C.the chopper to be switched off entirely while braking proceeds
  • D.the supply or battery to accept the returned current

Answer: D

Correct answer: the supply or battery to accept the returned current

Regeneration means the machine’s kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy and sent back, so something must absorb it. A battery can be charged, and a line-commutated converter can invert into the mains. If the source cannot accept it - a diode rectifier, for instance - the link voltage simply rises until something fails, and dynamic braking into a resistor must be used instead. Reversing the field or switching the chopper off achieves nothing.
