Consider a PWM connected to an amplifier that drives a DC motor that draws a maximum current of 5A. It is designed to have a duty cycle of 50% to obtain this current. The operating conditions are such that at equilibrium, the torque requirement is 1/5th (or 20%) of the starting torque. What percentage duty cycle is required to obtain this torque? What is the corresponding average current?
Can you check if the answer is correct?
The solution is with a pen and paper.
