An improved position estimation of the sensorless control system with online parameter identification based on back-Electromotive Force (EMF) voltage is presented for dual-winding fault-tolerant permanent magnet motor (FTPMM). In this system, rotor estimated by flux linkage and back-EMF which are generated each phase winding. By introducing phase-locked loop technology to compensate steady-stat...

Mechanical equipment is the heart of industry. For this reason, mechanical fault diagnosis has drawn considerable attention. In terms of the rich information hidden in fault vibration signals, the processing and analysis techniques of vibration signals have become a crucial research issue in the field of mechanical fault diagnosis. Based on the theory of sparse decomposition, Selesnick proposed...

SR motors are gaining wider popularity among variable-speed drives. This is due to their simple, low-cost construction characterized by an absence of magnets and rotor winding, high level of performance over a wide range of speeds, and fault-tolerant power stage design. Availability and the moderate cost of the necessary electronic components make SR drives a viable alternative to other commonl...

A conventional feedback control design may result in unsatisfactory performances in the event of malfunctions in actuators, sensors or other components of the system. This paper deals with the analysis and the design of the fault-tolerant control (FTC) in case of actuators and sensors faults. A classification of the FTC methods is proposed and according to the severity of faults affecting the s...

The paper considers abnormal operation modes of an electric drive power subsystem with permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), such as breakdown and burnout of IGBT-transistor in the three-phase inverter. The effect of these faults on the spectrum and form of the currents in the windings of the synchronous motor was studied. Heuristic algorithms based on the form features of the winding curr...

This application note describes a driver solution for single winding single-phase BLDC, based on the PIC16F1613 microcontroller. The driver exploits two feedback loops: the inner loop, which is responsible for the commutation control, and the outer loop which is responsible for the speed control. The speed of the motor is referenced to an external analog voltage. Fault detection can be sensed d...

A transient model for an induction machine with stator winding turn faults is derived using reference frame transformation theory. A state-space representation of the dynamic equations, suitable for digital simulation is provided. Steady-state equivalent circuits are derived, from which the sequence components of the line currents can be estimated as a function of fault severity. Experimental r...

The influence of winding-induced mechanical stresses on the magnetic anisotropy and core loss in toroidal cores made of Fe73Cu1Nb3Si16B7 ribbon is studied. The ribbon for the cores was rapidly pre-heated under tensile stress up to 120 MPa. It was found that magnetic characteristics of the material (magnetic anisotropy energy and the core loss) can be controlled by varying the tensile stress dur...
