SALIENT FEATURES :
ADTRON’S Jones Chopper is a self-contained stand unit useful in the study and demonstration of the principle and working of a Jones Chopper. It consists of a D.C. Source, UJT Triggering Circuit of variable frequency, Class “D” Commutation and D.C. Output the D.C. Output drives a D.C. Motor. The unit is housed in an elegant metal cabinet, with a well spread intelligently designed circuit layout on the front panel. Multicoloured Test Points are provided at various stages in the circuit to observe the waveforms and voltages. It is strongly supported by a comprehensive Instruction Manual complete with theory and operating details.
