Which of the following method is employed when regenerative braking is necessary?(a) DC chopper(b) Variable resistor(c) Inverter rectifier(d) Motor-generatorThe question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from DC Motor Control Through Choppers topic in chapter Motor Control by Static Power Converters of DC Machines

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) DC CHOPPER

For explanation: A chopper is essentially an ELECTRONIC switch that turns on the fixed-voltage DC source for SHORT time intervals and applies source potential to motor terminals in series of pulses. This process controls the average voltage APPLIED to the motor.
