The traditional constant armature current model predicts a square wave line current which has spectral characteristics independent of operation conditions. The electrical equations of the equivalent armature circuit of the DC machine are solved. A Fourier analysis of these equations yields a harmonic model of the motor and drive. The new model is compared to the traditional model in several examples and found to differ greatly at lower values of speed and torque. The new model offers improved accuracy in predicting the harmonic line currents of the 2 pulse DC motor drive.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119615,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON '94","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117156443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Manufacturing, testing, and operations at the ASRM site will be performed in different buildings scattered over a 1800 acre site. These buildings are interconnected through a local area network (LAN), which will contain one logical Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) ring acting as a backbone for the whole complex. The network contains approximately 700 multi-vendor workstations, 22 multi-vendor workcells, and 3 VAX clusters interconnected via Ethernet and FDDI. The different devices produce appreciably different traffic patterns, each pattern will be highly variable, and some patterns will be very bursty. Most traffic is between the VAX clusters and the other devices. Comdisco's Block Oriented Network Simulator (BONeS) has been used for network simulation. The two primary evaluation parameters used to judge the expected network performance are throughput and delay.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119615,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON '94","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134262562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
