Current Limit Control

Current- Limit Control

In this control strategy, the on and off of chopper circuit is decided by the previous set value of load current. The two set values are maximum load current and minimum load current.

When the load current reaches the upper limit, chopper is switched off. When the load current falls below lower limit, the chopper is switched on. Switching frequency of chopper can be controlled by setting maximum and minimum level of current.

Current limit control involves feedback loop, the trigger circuit for the chopper is therefore more complex. PWM technique is the commonly chosen control strategy for the power control in chopper circuit
