The Insulation of Electric Machines

Partial Discharge Analysis for Insulation Systems of Electric Rotating Machines with Various Voltage Stress

High voltage insulation is loosing its quality during the operation of high voltage machines and generators. Degrading high voltage stator insulation is the main reason for sudden breakdown of stator windings. Partial discharge measurements can reveal a lot of defects in stator windings of high voltage rotating machines with operating voltage more than 3,3kV. Partial discharge monitoring provid...

Different Electric Vehicle Charging Strategies to avoid Reducing the Insulation Oil Lifetime of Distribution Transformers

Abstract: The widespread presence of uncontrolled electric vehicles causes overloading of distribution network equipment. One of these equipments is distribution transformer, which should pay attention to overloading and reducing lifetime of this equipment due to charging of electric vehicles. First, strategies have been proposed to investigate the effect of electric vehicle penetration level a...

DESIGN OF ELECTRIC MACHINES: Axial Flux Machines

Electric Insulation Detection Method for High-voltage Insulators

The principle of partial discharge detection is that through partial bridged discharge under high voltage electric field, it detects the inner air-filled cavity of high-voltage insulators. And it is a nondestructive detection method based on discharge magnitude to judge the insulation quality. The detecting system that adopts the partial discharge detection is more rigorous than testing system ...

A review on recent applications of brushless DC electric machines and their potential in energy saving

Electric motors are the largest consumer of world electric energy, consuming more than twice as much as lighting, the next largest consumer. Electric motors account for between 43 and 46% of all global electricity consumption approximately. They give rise to about 6 040 Mt of CO2 emissions. End‐users approximately spend USD 565 billion per year on electricity [1]. In recent years...
