Principle of Operation
In resonant pulse commutation the Capacitor C charges up in the dot as positive before a gate pulse is applied to the Transistor. When transistor is triggered, the resulting current has two components.
The constant load current I load flows through R - L load. This is ensured by the large
reactance in series with the load and the freewheeling diode clamping it.
A sinusoidal current flows through the resonant L-C circuit to charge-up C with the dot as negative at the end of the half cycle.

VIVA Questions
1. To design the buck converter, what are basic & essential information (parameters) we need to get
from the Customer?
Ans : We need the following inputs from the customer, Output Voltage VOUT, Input Voltage VIN,
Output Current (load current) IOUT Maximum Ripple voltage allowed at the output side,
Efficiency of the converter
2. What is the ouput voltage of buck chopper?
Ans: the output voltage of buck chopper is
Vo=DVin Where D is duty cycle
3.What is meant by delay angle?
Ans: The delay angle is defined as angle between zero crossing of the input voltage and the instant
the thyristor is fired.
4. What is meant by DC chopper?
Ans: a DC chopper is a high speed static switch used to obtaine the variable DC output volatge
from constant DC input voltage.
5. What are the two types of control strategies?
Ans: Time ratio control (TRC) and Current Limit Control Method (CLC)
