Chopping Period Formula Elements

Variables
Chopping Period
The Chopping Period is defined as complete time cycle, comprising both the on-time and off-time of the chopper switch.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Chopper On Time
Chopper On Time refers to the time period for which chopper was in ON state.
Symbol: Ton
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Circuit Turn Off Time
Circuit Turn Off Time is defined as duration taken for the chopper to turn off or open its switching elements (usually thyristors or SCRs) once the decision is made to interrupt the current flow.
Symbol: Tc
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

FAQs on Chopping Period

What is the formula to find Chopping Period?
The formula of Chopping Period is expressed as Chopping Period = Chopper On Time+Circuit Turn Off Time. Here is an example- 0.85 = 0.45+0.4.
How to calculate Chopping Period?
With Chopper On Time (Ton) & Circuit Turn Off Time (Tc) we can find Chopping Period using the formula - Chopping Period = Chopper On Time+Circuit Turn Off Time.
Can the Chopping Period be negative?
No, the Chopping Period, measured in Time cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Chopping Period?
Chopping Period is usually measured using the Second[s] for Time. Millisecond[s], Microsecond[s], Nanosecond[s] are the few other units in which Chopping Period can be measured.
