DC Choppers and DC motor ControlVarious methods are available for obtaining a variable dc voltage from a constant dc source.
There is a demand for changing from one dc voltage to another.
Some of the more important practical applications include power converters or armature voltage control of dc motors, converting low or high battery source voltage to levels which best match practical load requirements, and controlling dc power for a wide variety of industrial processes.

DC Choppers and DC motor Control
The thyristor converter offers greater efficiently, faster response, lower maintenance, smaller size, and for many applications, lower cost than motor-generator sets or gas tube approaches.
In thyristor-type dc-to-dc converters, commutating circuits are required similar to those used in many inverters.

SCR Voltage Choppers
Control of a dc motor’s speed by an SCR voltage chopper is required where the supply is dc (as from a battery) or the ac voltage has already been rectified to a dc voltage.
Chapter six
SCR Voltage Choppers
Vout could be varied by the following methods:1. Ton may be varied while T is held constant (PWM).2. Ton may be kept constant while T is varied (freq. modulation).3. Combined pulse-width and frequency modulation.
