ABSTRACT
The paper presents a method of analysis and performance of chopper fed dc series motor under regenerative braking. The method of analysis takes into account the nonlinearity of the magnetic circuit, armature reaction, effect of commutation pulse and source inductance. Equations have been derived for the calculation of (a) machine speed-torque characteristics (b) regenerative power and efficiency of regeneration, and (c) current ripple and filter inductance value. The method also shows the prediction of stability at low speeds and conditions for failure of regeneration. The effects of chopper operating frequency, source inductance, commutation capacitor and input-filter capacitor on regenerative power and efficiency of regeneration, and stability of braking have been described. Theoretical deductions have been verified experimentally
