ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical circuit configuration for a chopper circuit is disclosed which is particularly adapted for use with an inductive load such as a braking resistor of the type used in many rapid transit vehicles. Instead of connecting a di/dt reactor directly in series with the electronic switch of the chopper circuit, a di/dt reactor is connected in series with the freewheeling diode. Using this configuration, the di/dt reactor does not have to continuously handle the average current through the electronic switch during the entire chopping operation. Hence, a much smaller, lighter, and less expensive di/dt reactor can be utilized.
