A breaker that fails that requirement is defective. Samples of two brands, purchased from retail sources, are tested for that basic calibration. Both brands were tested 4 years ago. Previous samples of one brand were 50% defective, and new samples manufactured in 2021 are 28% defective. The second brand, previously defect-free, is again defect-free. The test results, past and present, imply that some manufacturers are calibrating breakers to trip too close to the allowable upper current limit, and are checking calibration by testing at higher current. The standard calibration test at 200% of rated current is shown to be incapable of indicating whether or not a breaker will trip properly, as required by the applicable standard, at 135% of rated current. A third brand tested came on the market recently. Its thermal-magnetic breakers trip correctly, but the brand's hydraulic-magnetic breakers are erratic, with 38% of the samples malfunctioning. The malfunctions are attributed to thermal distortion that causes mechanical binding of the triggering mechanism. Some breaker brands with a high defect rate have been in the distribution chain for many years and are permanently installed in homes. The increased risk of fire and injury for the occupants of these dwellings is significant. The long-standing history of this problem and the fire safety consequences are discussed.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"4 ","pages":"75-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8782707/10008994/10021241.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50350751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The axial suspension force is generated by a specific coil configuration called a figure-eight coil. Radial directions and tilting angles are stabilized by passive permanent magnet bearings. Since axial electrodynamic force increases with rotational speed, it must overcome a certain minimum threshold speed to compensate for the rotor weight and the unstable axial force caused by the permanent magnet bearing. Theoretical equations are derived for the braking torque caused by the suspension current and for the steady-state axial equilibrium position at constant rotational speed. A method based on the braking torque equation is proposed for correcting the mismatch between the magnetic center of the bearingless motor and the middle point of the axial clearance. This method sets the middle point between upper and lower touchdown positions in the same place where the motor current is minimum during passive axial suspension. Axial suspension is confirmed in the experiment with a noncontact laser sensor.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"4 ","pages":"49-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8782707/10008994/10019578.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50350749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the increasing integration of distributed energy resources, the conventional SVR is severely challenged by the modern power distribution pattern with high renewable energy penetration. The induced arc from the conventional SVR tap change and more frequent tap changes due to voltage instability from the renewable energy impose constraints on the conventional SVRs lifetime. Meanwhile, the conventional SVR device cannot regulate the voltage accurately since the SVR regulates the voltage step-by-step. This article proposed a hybrid voltage regulator with high-efficiency and low contact wearing, which can achieve arcless tap change and stepless voltage regulation by using a fractionally rated back-to-back power converter. The accurate load voltage regulation is guaranteed, while the tap changer mechanism remains in the system, which helps to promote the upgrade to the existing power distribution systems. The power converter capacity in the proposed topology is only 0.31% of the distribution transformer rating to achieve a stepless voltage regulation range of ±10%, significantly reducing the system cost compared with the full power electronics solutions and projects high total system efficiency. The proposed hybrid voltage regulator was simulated and experimentally validated. The experimental results demonstrate arcless tap change operation and stepless voltage regulation. Collaborative operation between the conventional mechanical tap change and the power converter operation is also demonstrated to acquire large voltage regulation with fast-acting voltage control.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"4 ","pages":"60-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8782707/10008994/10018870.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50350750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the dimensions of the swirler with 12-pole permanent magnets are optimized to enhance the electromagnetic radial force by analytical calculation and three-dimensional finite-element analysis. Second, an improved gear set with a reduced pressure angle and an increased transmission ratio is designed. The gear efficiency and torque are investigated analytically considering the friction loss.

For the experiment, three test motors were set up: (a) a bearingless motor with two RPMB, (b) a motor with two ball bearings without an axial preload, and (c) a motor with two ball bearings with an axial preload. Motor (a) under test had one-axis active positioning and the radial movements were supported by RPMB made of cylindrical permanent magnets. Conversely, in motors (b) and (c), the radial and axial movements were supported by ball bearings, and there was no production of active axial force. The experimental results confirmed that the levels of acoustic noise, stator vibration, and input power consumption were significantly lower in motor (a) than those in motors (b) and (c). In the analysis section, dynamic models of the bearingless motor with RPMB and motor with ball bearings were designed and simulated using MATLAB \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$backslash$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 Simulink.

The operation at any feasible modulation index can be accomplished by adequate determination of the flux trajectories at the different operating regions (e.g., PWM, overmodulation (I and II), and six-step). Continuous and seamless transition between the four operating regions is guaranteed, where the modulation index changes linearly with speed between PWM and six-step (without abrupt change in torque or acoustic problems). With the proposed strategy, undesirable torque dynamics, stability problems, and increased computational efforts associated with using multiple control laws are avoided. The transient performance of DBFC at the maximum voltage limit is analyzed in detail in the flux plane. A time-optimal torque control algorithm is developed to achieve the fastest possible torque dynamics and to considerably reduce the settling time, without the use of a voltage margin. The torque can be controlled with high accuracy and high robustness to machine parameter variations. With DBFC, no tradeoff between good steady state six-step behavior and good transient performance is needed due to the decoupling of switching and calculation frequencies. The proposed DBFC controller offers valuable features, and it is simple to implement. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the proposed control algorithm, which is implemented on an automotive microcontroller with a high-power/high-performance automotive traction machine.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"3 ","pages":"247-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8782707/9666452/09954164.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50323989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
