In certain electrostatic applications, such as the electroseparation of mixed granular solids, the particles to be charged are in contact with an electrode. Under these circumstances, Pauthenier's formula is no longer valid, because the field is nonuniform. The present paper addresses this problem from both a computational and an experimental point of view. A numerical method of electrostatic field analysis was employed for the evaluation of the charge acquired by spheres of various dielectric constants, in contact with plate electrode. The experiments were carried out on a laboratory equipment provided with various types of corona electrodes. An electrometer was used to measure the charge acquired by calibrated spheres of polyamide (diameter: 3 mm) when subjected to the positive or negative corona discharge generated between these electrodes and a metallic rotating roll electrode (diameter: 150 mm) connected to the ground. The experimental data were in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The charge of the particles was found to be maximum for a model of electrode, which was then proposed as the standard for the industrial corona-electrostatic separators.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

Pulsating torques are inherently produced by the trapezoidal back-EMFs and trapezoidal currents used in certain permanent magnet adjustable-speed motors. The torque ripples caused by pulsating torques may be reduced by purposely produced fluctuating counter torques. Air-gap torque assessments are conducted on a sample motor.

The rectifier diodes turn on and off at low dv/dt. This results in low switching noise and low switching losses. Diode parasitic capacitances do not adversely affect the circuit operation. The absolute value of di/dt is limited at diode turn-off, reducing the reverse recovery current. The circuit is operated at a low output voltage ripple and, therefore, at a low power loss in the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the filter capacitor. Experimental tests were performed for a rectifier circuit operated at an output power of P/sub O/=60 W, a minimum frequency of f=500 kHz, and an output voltage of V/sub O/=3.3 V. The theoretical and the experimental results are in good agreement. Experimental measurements demonstrate that the rectifier is suitable for high-power density, high-frequency applications that requires low-output voltages and high-currents.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

The major diameter direction of the current-vector locus gives information on the rotor direction. The shift of the current-vector locus caused by magnetic saturation makes it possible to identify the direction of the rotor magnet N-pole. The proposed method to estimate the rotor position was verified by experimental results of a 100 W PM motor.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

At high frequencies, additional losses occur within the foil windings due to the eddy currents induced by skin, proximity, fringing and other AC effects. In addition, the winding structure greatly affects the distribution of losses within the windings. In this paper, the various loss mechanisms of a foil winding are analyzed and quantified. Both analytical and finite element analysis tools are utilized to investigate and understand the different loss mechanisms. The results show a strong correlation between the current and field distributions within the windings where the current is always attracted to the high field regions. By shaping and controlling the field distribution in a given design, the current distribution can be improved which results in an improvement in the winding losses.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

The torque production capabilities of Halbach and conventional magnet arrays under the constraints of fixed magnet volume, and fixed power dissipation in slotless armature windings, are compared and the results presented in a graphical manner along with intuitive models that qualitatively explain these results. The authors conclude that, for permanent-magnet synchronous motors where the application precludes the use of a magnetic back-iron, the Halbach array always produces higher torque than the conventional array, for the same volume of magnets. The use of a magnetic back-iron in both designs increases the achievable torque. However for magnetically-backed rotors, the conventional array, with an optimized pole-arc to pole-pitch ratio, produces higher torque than the Halbach array up to a certain thickness of magnets. Above this thickness, the Halbach array produces a higher torque.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.
