Images of magnetic field distribution, which are readily available from most finite element analysis packages, are pre-processed and collated only once for each machine. This data can then be interpolated rapidly at the point of use to obtain the spatial and temporal field distribution in the machine for any operating conditions, which can then be used for either qualitative or quantitative analysis of iron losses in that machine. The practical application of the technique is demonstrated for a flux switching motor running at approximately 15000 rpm, although it is applicable to a wide range of electrical machines-stationary, linear and rotating.","PeriodicalId":288109,"journal":{"name":"38th IAS Annual Meeting on Conference Record of the Industry Applications Conference, 2003.","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122593117","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}

Each of the three conventional low-side power switches in a three-phase inverter can be replaced by one of these special devices that is designed to provide a sensing level current that accurately mirrors its total forward current. Recognizing that the output current in each phase flows through the low-side switch for only a portion of the fundamental cycle, a technique has been developed to reconstruct the full phase current waveforms for R-L loads using only the incomplete phase current measurements. The performance characteristics of the proposed current reconstruction technique are experimentally verified, including demonstration of a closed-loop three-phase current regulator using the reconstructed current feedback from the integrated pilot current sensors.","PeriodicalId":288109,"journal":{"name":"38th IAS Annual Meeting on Conference Record of the Industry Applications Conference, 2003.","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131409412","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}

In addition, the thermal performance often needs to be analyzed when a motor is used in a different way to which it was originally designed for. An important example is the use of variable speed drives with induction motors designed for mains supply. These thermal requirements mean than accurate and reliable motor thermal models are required by the designers. In this paper the thermal behavior of total enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) induction motors are investigated using a commercially available software package called Motor-CAD/spl reg/. This software has been used to develop thermal models for five industrial induction motors from the same series (rated powers of 4 kW-7.5 kW-15 kW-30 kW-55 kW, 4 poles, 380 V, 50 Hz). The models produced have been experimentally verified. In particular, for each motor, the results obtained using the software's default parameters have been compared with solutions obtained using tuned parameters obtained through thermal tests. The analysis and the results reported in the paper allow us to give some general guidelines useful for obtaining accurate thermal models of TEFC induction motors. In particular we give advice on developing models for use in the calculation of motor de-rating when changing from mains to inverter supplies.","PeriodicalId":288109,"journal":{"name":"38th IAS Annual Meeting on Conference Record of the Industry Applications Conference, 2003.","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131445810","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}

The inverter stage is based on LCC parallel-series inverter with resonant current mode control. This control method avoids the inverter handling any reactive energy, minimizing both switching and conduction losses. Also, the design performs a natural power control without exceeding the maximum power recommended by the lamp manufacturer. Also, since it is desirable to implement a low-cost power factor correction, a buck PFC is proposed. The ignition process is optimized because no additional elements are necessary to ignite the lamp providing low ignition current through the switches. The design has been realized for 70, 150 and 250 W HPS lamps. Computer simulation and experimental results have validated the design method proposed.","PeriodicalId":288109,"journal":{"name":"38th IAS Annual Meeting on Conference Record of the Industry Applications Conference, 2003.","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133448688","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}

Most of these models are very application specific. None of them, however, seems to be completely adequate for the purpose of fault diagnosis. This is because for noninvasive detection technique such as motor current signature analysis (MCSA), one has to detect different frequency components in the line current of the machine. Since saturation is present to a certain extent in almost any machine, incorporating it in the model creates a condition to analyze and detect symptomatic harmonics in the line current spectra that may arise due to the interaction of saturation with a specific fault. The present paper attempts to create such a model. The model uses modulation of air gap permeance in order to emulate saturation. Modified winding function approach (MWFA) has been used to model the induction machine since the air gap becomes nonuniform in presence of saturation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the model, certain high frequency harmonics that can be predicted theoretically, are shown to be present in the line current of the simulated machine. Experimental results also confirm the presence of these harmonics. The author plans to use this model in future for fault analysis.","PeriodicalId":288109,"journal":{"name":"38th IAS Annual Meeting on Conference Record of the Industry Applications Conference, 2003.","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115785686","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}

Also, the effect of reversed voltage transformer connections on directional overcurrent and directional power are presented.
