A PDM (pulse density modulation) gate control circuit for stable operation and self start-up from standstill is tested. The effect of PDM sampling period on steady state waveforms is compared for three cases. The bad effect of parasitic capacitance of the switching arm is shown, and its countermeasure is given. Based on the probabilistic switching function technique, a DC equivalent circuit model suited for simulating macroscopic energy flow is proposed.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123722102","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}

Thin permanent magnets are employed to generate radial forces efficiently. However, thin permanent magnets have a crisis of demagnetization because not only q-axis fluxes but also additional radial force fluxes exist in the motor magnetic field. The maximum q-axis and radial force currents limited by the demagnetization have been already made clear for a particular machine configuration using the finite element method. However, these results are not theoretically verified. In this paper, a limitation of demagnetization is analytically derived. The maximum current is found as a parameter of a permanent magnet thickness.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120957607","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}

Maximum efficiency of the tested motor is about 80%, and if the air gap length is spread to 12 mm, the tested motor keeps 66% efficiency.

The main circuit of this power converter is composed of a conventional single-phase PWM voltage source power converter and a ripple reduction circuit. The ripple reduction circuit is composed of an additional switching leg, an inductor and a switching leg that is shared with the PWM power converter. Input current control is achieved by the conventional high-frequency PWM current control technique. On the other hand, DC ripple reduction control is associated with some difficulties because one of the switching legs in the ripple reducing portion is shared with the PWM power converter portion. In order to reduce the DC ripple current, the inductor current at the ripple reducing portion must be maintained to an adequate value which is deeply influenced by the modulation factor on the PWM power converter. The relationship between the modulation factor and the inductor current was analysed and the inductor current necessary for DC ripple current reduction was studied. The effectiveness of this circuit was confirmed experimentally and by simulation The power converter is useful for UPSs and DC power supplies, particularly in the case in which batteries are connected to the DC line.","PeriodicalId":262154,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Power Conversion Conference - PCC '97","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134147932","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}
