Abstract

The system is designed to develop a four quadrant control system for a DC motor. The motor is operated in all four quadrants i.e. clockwise, counter clock-wise, forward brake and reverse brake. The four quadrant operation of the dc motor is useful for industries where motors are used and as per requirement as they can rotate in clockwise, counter-clockwise and also apply brakes immediately in both the directions. At the time of operation in industrial environment, the motor needs to be stopped immediately. Here the speed controlling of DC Motor is carried out by using Four Quadrant Chopper drive. Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) is used for switching ON and OFF of the motor. This system can be enhanced by using higher power electronic devices to operate high capacity DC motors and less switching loss.
