DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF CONVENTIONAL BOOST CONVERTER FOR WIPER MOTOR

Abstract

Window cleaning devices in automobiles, commonly referred to as “wiper” are powered by an electric motor of approximately 50W at 24V. To fulfil the requirements, there is a need to step up the voltage from the available 12V battery source to 24V. The Conventional Boost Converter is the most basic setup that can be used for the purpose. The Power circuit includes an inductor, a switch, a diode and a capacitor. This paper deals with the analysis the conventional DC-DC converter taking into consideration the various losses due to the components. The results are verified with a 50W prototype
