# Discussion
In the this table we build a Circuit to observe the operation of the MOSFET boost chopper
First We adjust source to 30 Vdc
Also We adjust various duty cycle from chopper / invertor control unit ( 0.25 , 0.5 )
After that we got the result for input current from Dc ammeter
Then we measured the input power from this equation
Pi = (Vi sourse x I in measured)
Second we measured output of voltage and current from Dc voltmeter/ Current ammeter
Also the output power by using
Po = (Vo measured x Io measured)
Third calculate power efficiency and output voltage :

- On the Chopper/Inverter Control Unit, slowly set the DC SOURC-E 1 control knob so
that the duty cycle of the switching control signal is equal to approximately 90% while
observing the voltage indicated by the DC Voltmeter/Ammeter. Describe how the dc
voltage at the MOSFET boost chopper output varies when the duty cycle of the
switching control signal is increased?
If Duty cycle increased output voltage will increased
- Explain why the MOSFET boost chopper can produce output voltages, which are much
higher than the voltage applied at its input.
Due to inductance and MOSFET switching
- Explain why this circuit is referred to as a boost chopper, knowing that the duty cycle
of the switching control signal is set to minimum.
Because Voltage output bigger than Voltage input
- On the Chopper/Inverter Control Unit, slowly set the DC SOURCE 1 control knob so
that the duty cycle of the switching control signal is equal to approximately 90%, while
observing the current indicated by the center meter (I2dc) on the DC
Voltmeter/Ammeter.
􀀀 Yes 􀀀 No
- In which direction does the power flow?
Power flow to load
- On the Chopper/Inverter Control Unit, slowly turn the DC SOURCE 2 control knob in
both directions to vary the frequency of the switching control signal, while observing
the dc voltage and current at the MOSFET boost chopper output on the oscilloscope
screen and on the DC Voltmeter/Ammeter, respectively. Does the frequency of the
switching control signal have a significant effect on the dc voltage and current the
MOSFET boost chopper provides? If so, describe this effect.
Ripple reduce
- On the Chopper/Inverter Control Unit, slowly turn the DC SOURCE 2 control knob in
both directions to vary the frequency of the switching control signal, while observing
the waveform of the voltage at the MOSFET boost chopper output on the oscilloscope
screen. Does the frequency of the switching control signal have a significant effect on
the ripple on the voltage at the MOSFET boost chopper output? If so, describe this
effect.
Yes, but not significant

Review questions :
1 . Describe the effect the switching control signal frequency has on the
output voltage and current of a MOSFET boost chopper. Explain.
Frequency increased the voltage and current decreased
2. A MOSFET boost chopper is powered by a 12-V dc power supply. What is

the output voltage range of this chopper if the duty cycle can vary between
20 and 95%?
Vin 12
Vout = 1−D = 1−0.95 = 20
3. Briefly describe the operation of the MOSFET boost chopper.
When the switch is closed (on-state), current flows through the inductor in the
clockwise direction and the inductor stores some energy by generating a magnetic
field. Polarity of the left side of the inductor is positive.
When the switch is opened (off-state), current will be reduced as the impedance is
higher. The magnetic field previously created will be reduced in energy to maintain
the current towards the load. Thus the polarity will be reversed (meaning the left
side of the inductor will become negative). As a result, two sources will be in series
causing a higher voltage to charge the capacitor through the diode D.
4. Explain why the maximum value of the duty cycle must be limited in certain
boost chopper.
Vin 30
Max duty cycle is equal to 1 because when 𝑉𝑜 =
1−D
= 1−1
=∞
5. Name the component operating with ac power which best compares to the
MOSFET boost chopper.
These power converters add up the passive components (diode, inductor and
capacitor)
boost chopper is step up voltage

the relationship between the switching control signal and the waveforms of the voltage and
