Talk:Braking chopper

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... I'm not very familiar with the field but.... The term "braking chopper" appears (with some quick googling) to be used to refer generically to an integrated unit that redirects the braking energy to a resistor. (Dynamic_braking)

If the object is a brand name, Then it should be merged into the dynamic braking article (braking chopper is quite well written.) with a redirect as and mention in of the brand name in the article as the term seems notable. Staticd (talk) 10:41, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not a brand name. Familiarity with the field is a very useful attribute for an encyclopedia contributor. --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey thanks for praising the article, it took some time to have the format done , but am little bit unhappy regarding resource reference deletion !! Shrikanthv (talk) 08:48, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Flux braking
How does flux braking relate to braking choppers? From the article there doesn't seem to be any direct connection. Joja lozzo  16:12, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Also mention the source if you're gonna copy the lot. https://library.e.abb.com/public/6866afe6c69df93dc1257888004521e1/ABB_Technical_guide_No_8_REVB.pdf 92.111.167.155 (talk) 10:08, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Chopper (electronics)
Both the articles talk about same topic ! Shrikanthv (talk) 07:03, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose There's overlap, but they're not the same.  "Chopper" is a principle. "Braking chopper" is one application, and only one application, of that principle.  Choppers (in general) are used for power electronics, with inverters and power supplies etc. that are distinct from the braking use in motors. There are also low-power choppers for instrumentation purposes.
 * I'd suggest merging most of the content, but still keeping two distinct articles and making the overall Chopper article closer to an overview and disambiguation. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:40, 29 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose As Dingley said, they're not the same.  Consider the chopper principle used in op amps to correct for Vos and Vos drift. This is completely different from a braking chopper. If anything, Braking Chopper should be merged into the Chopper article. If we start separating applications of choppers from the chopper page, we could eventually have dozens of application stubs.
