Design and Construction of a DC-to-DC Converter for Electric Vehicle Application

A DC-to-DC converter has been designed to control the speed of a DC motor for electric vehicle application. The power circuit of the converter consists of transistorised power switches (IGBTs) to step-down the voltage to the level required by the speed and load demand. The series shunt resistor...
