APPLICATION OF TWO-PHASE DC CHOPPER MOTOR DRIVE

THE EXPERIMENTAL SOLID-STATE CONTROLLER DEVELOPED BY THE U.S. ARMY MOBILITY EQUIPMENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER IS DISCUSSED. WHEN OPERATING FROM A BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE CELL, THIS EXPERIMENTAL TWO-PHASE, PHASE SEQUENTIALLY-SWITCHED DC CHOPPER IS ABLE TO OPERATE TWO DC SERIES FIELD MOTORS WITH A SINGLE CONTROL MECHANISM FROM ZERO TO FULL SPEED. THIS RESULTS IN A PEAK POWER PROPULSION PROFILE HERETOFORE NOT CONSIDERED FEASIBLE IN TERMS OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT AND SUBSYSTEM POWER RATING. A POWER PROCESSOR FOR SHUNT FIELD MOTORS IS ALSO DESCRIBED WHICH CAN PROVIDE IDENTICAL PROPULSION CHARACTERISTICS THROUGH STORAGE OF KINETIC ENERGY IN A HIGH-SPEED FLYWHEEL. /DOT/
