A 4-quadrant DC chopper with bipolar switching operating at a switching frequency of 2kHz, is connected to a 120VDC source (Vs) and a DC motor which has a counter EMF (CEMF) of 50VDC at rated speed. The armature resistance is 2Ω and the armature inductance is 20mH. Calculate: a) Output voltage with an 80% duty cycle b) Magnitude and direction of the DC armature current with an 80% duty cycle. c) Duty cycle for a forward braking current of 10ADC. (Assume the speed has not changed due to the large inertia of the load.)
