AC chopper is also called AC voltage controller. In AC voltage controller, we use 2 thyristors as switching element. In AC chopper we use MOSFET or IGBT as switching element with diodes in bridge rectifier for bidirectional flow of current. This use of mosfet switch has the following advantages over thyristor:
* no separate firing circuit are needed for Mosfet ( it can be driven directly by interfacing it with MC) whereas firing circuits are needed for SCR.
*when the line current drops to zero SCR turns off due to natural commutation( when it reaches 172 deg) ; mosfet- user control - we can turn on and off as per our requirement.
* snubber circuit is needed for thyristor phase control method. By using mosfet in diode rectifier provides internal snubber

What is chopper amplifier?
In a chopper type amplifier the dc i/p voltage is converted into an ac voltage, amplified by an ac amplifier and then converted back into a dc voltage proportional to the original i/p signal
Working principle of step-down chopper?
chopper
What is the Difference between electronic and digital switching?
A chopper to chop DC into AC is an electronic switching. Digital is data bits or machine language whereby a processor can make decisions
Advantages of chopper amplifier?
The advantage of chopper amplifiers is that they help to amplify really low signals with high gains. This is commonly useful for electronic instrumentation.
What are the differecne between chopper and rectifiers?
for controlling a motor if it is in a important application we use rectifiers because the ripple factor of the chopper is very high in comparison with choppers
What are the best killstreak rewards to get chopper gunner or AC-130?
Predator missile, harrier, chopper gunner or AC-130.
What is better in mw2 the chopper gunner or ac 130?
chopper gunner smart people
What is chopper amplifier?
In a chopper type amplifier the dc i/p voltage is converted into an ac voltage, amplified by an ac amplifier and then converted back into a dc voltage proportional to the original i/p signal
What are the difference between choppers and inverters?
chopper transforms ac to dc (dc chopper) while all inverter transform dc to ac commutation used in chopper: forced,load commutation used in inverter:forced(180 vsi),natural or line(120 vsi)
What is better a chopper gunner or a ac130?
Ac 130 by far. chopper gunners get shot down and blown up too easy Stupid, please don't say AC130 is better :( Chopper by far :)
What happens if you see a flying pig?
Then you'd probably be looking at an AC 130. or chopper gunner, followed by a nuke
What is dcdc chopper?
A chopper or DC-DC converter is a circuit or technique used to convert a constant DC signal into a variable DC signal where by using switching technique known as PWM(pulse width modulation). A chopper is a static device that converts dc input into dc output voltage directly. A chopper may be thought of as an ac transformer since they behave the same.
Does Jones chopper is a stepup chopper?
Jones chopper is known as voltage commutated chopper...it is one type of chopper..
What charges the battery while running on an American ironhorse Texas chopper?
An AC generator sending power to a rectifier which converts it to DC voltage.
How do you say chopper in Japanese?
Chopper = choppaa = motobike chopper = hericoputa = helicopter
Which is not an invention by ron popeil?
ultimate chopper
Can a single phase inverter's working principle can be explained?
in single phase inverter we use two chopper the ratio of output ac to the ratio of input dc
