Duty Cycle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Duty Cycle = Chopper On Time/Chopping Period
d = T_on/T
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Duty Cycle - A Duty Cycle or power cycle is the fraction of one period in which a signal or system is active.
Chopper On Time - (Measured in Second) - Chopper On Time refers to the time period for which chopper was in ON state.
Chopping Period - (Measured in Second) - The Chopping Period is defined as complete time cycle, comprising both the on-time and off-time of the chopper switch.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Chopper On Time: 0.45 Second --> 0.45 Second No Conversion Required
Chopping Period: 0.85 Second --> 0.85 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = T_on/T --> 0.45/0.85

Evaluating ... ...

d = 0.529411764705882

What is chopper and chopping period ?

A chopper is a static device that converts fixed DC input voltage to a variable DC output voltage. It is basically a high-speed ON/OFF semiconductor switch. When the chopper switch is ON, the load voltage is equal to the source voltage Vs and when the switch is OFF, load voltage becomes equal to ZERO. Thus, a chopped voltage across the load is obtained. Total time or chopping period is the sum of ON and OFF time.

How to Calculate Duty Cycle?

Duty Cycle calculator uses Duty Cycle = Chopper On Time/Chopping Period to calculate the Duty Cycle, The Duty cycle formula is defined as the ratio of the ON time of chopper to the chopping period(total time). Duty Cycle is denoted by d symbol.

How to calculate Duty Cycle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Duty Cycle, enter Chopper On Time (T_on) & Chopping Period (T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Duty Cycle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.529412 = 0.45/0.85.

FAQ

What is Duty Cycle?

The Duty cycle formula is defined as the ratio of the ON time of chopper to the chopping period(total time) and is represented as d = T_on/T or Duty Cycle = Chopper On Time/Chopping Period. Chopper On Time refers to the time period for which chopper was in ON state & The Chopping Period is defined as complete time cycle, comprising both the on-time and off-time of the chopper switch.

How to calculate Duty Cycle?

The Duty cycle formula is defined as the ratio of the ON time of chopper to the chopping period(total time) is calculated using Duty Cycle = Chopper On Time/Chopping Period. To calculate Duty Cycle, you need Chopper On Time (T_on) & Chopping Period (T). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Chopper On Time & Chopping Period and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
