Engineers and technicians understand the DC motor structure and components. They also have experience in rebuilding, testing, and making performance adjustments to the DC machines. Those that truly understand commutation, the commutation zone, and the characteristics of the carbon brush are, alas, few in number. Traditionally, the lack of a visible arc has been the defining quality for good commutation - hence the term “black”. The lack of proper understanding and relatively high-level physical science involved has led to the art of achieving this condition being nicknamed “Black Magic”. It is a reference to both the brush coloration, and commutation. The purpose of this paper is to define the commutating zone and present the critical components that create the zone. An explanation of specific brush properties and their contribution to successful commutation is included.","PeriodicalId":170960,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Pulp, Paper and Forest Industries Conference (PPFIC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117165269","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}

Since its theoretical analysis was introduced by Minorsky nearly 100 years ago [1], it has been explained primarily by its representation in the Positional form of the equation. This paper will present the PID algorithm as a PVA (Position, Velocity, Acceleration) algorithm, which explains the theory based on the Velocity instead of the Positional form of the equation. PVA is not a new controller but a different representation of the PID from a Velocity instead of Positional view. The paper does not intend to suggest that the implementation of controllers should change from PID to PVA; only that PVA provides a more intuitive way to introduce the theory so that engineers better understand how to configure and tune PID control loops. Despite a long history of teaching the Positional form, and implementation of the Positional (PID) form in control systems, the Velocity (PVA) form offers a way to introduce the algorithm in a more familiar and understandable way to engineering students and practicing engineers.","PeriodicalId":170960,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Pulp, Paper and Forest Industries Conference (PPFIC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132094879","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}

This paper first describes and analyzes a set of field records of a production 2-coater section paper machine. Then, extending the 1-coater section model developed in a related paper, a precise simulation model of a 2-coater section is implemented. This model is used to evaluate the beginning of the coating process and the effect on the section responses of different bandwidth settings in the tension and speed controllers. Results show agreement with the field records and demonstrate that the developed model is a powerful tool to analyze and understand the behavior of coater sections during both, transient and steady state conditions.","PeriodicalId":170960,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Pulp, Paper and Forest Industries Conference (PPFIC)","volume":"244 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124690490","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}

Proper sizing involves consideration of fault and overload conditions that are possible. The basis for such sizing is commonly derived from NEC limits. These NEC imposed limits are the legal limits, but direct application of these maximum values to size transformer primary side fuses is ill-advised. The primary side fuse for medium voltage (MV) applications greater than 1000 volts, as with most MV protective devices, is not intended to provide overload protection. That is achieved by design (considering the intended loading on the transformer). The National Electrical Code recognizes this by permitting the fuse to be sized up to 300 percent of the transformer full load ampere rating. It is generally not a good idea to apply the NEC as an absolute standard for fuse sizing to protect transformers in the absence of the application of other techniques (such as plotting the ANSI/IEEE thermal-mechanical damage characteristic for transformers on a time current curve along with the primary side (MV) fuse time current curve characteristic). These considerations are discussed in the course of this paper. The focus here is on dry type, low voltage (LV) transformers, although the content can be easily extended to liquid filled transformers by using the equations from the appropriate standard.","PeriodicalId":170960,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Pulp, Paper and Forest Industries Conference (PPFIC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116630364","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}
