A dc drive fed from a chopper rather than a phase-controlled rectifier has

  • A.no ability to control the armature voltage of the machine
  • B.no need for any current limit during starting
  • C.smaller current ripple at the machine
  • D.a very much poorer power factor as seen by the supply

Answer: C

Switching at hundreds or thousands of hertz gives far less ripple than switching at supply frequency, which reduces the extra heating in the machine. The chopper needs a dc source, which is usually a rectifier and a link capacitor.
