The power circuit diagram for two-quadrant type-B chopper, or type-D chopper, is shown in Fig.1.a. The output voltage v0=Vs when both CH1 and CH2 are on and v0=−Vs when both choppers are off but both diodes D1 and D2 conduct. Average output voltage V0 is positive when choppers turn-on time Ton is more than their turn-off time Toff as shown in Fig.1.c.
Average output voltage V0 is negative when their Ton<T off . Fig.1.d. The direction of load current is always positive because choppers and diodes can conduct current only in the direction of arrows shown in Fig.1.a. As V0 is reversible, power flow is reversible. The operation of this type of chopper is shown by the hatched area in first and fourth quadrants in fig.1.b.
