Type C chopper

Class-C or Type-C Chopper is a category of chopper which can operate in first as well as second quadrant. This basically means that, the power can either flow from source to load or load to source in this chopper. This kind of chopper is also known as Two Quadrant Class-A chopper. As we know that, a Class-A and Class-B chopper operates in first and second quadrant respectively. Therefore, if we connect both these types of chopper in parallel then it is possible to have chopper operation in first as well as second quadrant. In fact, Class-C or Type-C chopper is obtained by the parallel connection of Class-A and Class-B chopper.
