As MEMS transducers are scaled up in size, the threshold is quickly crossed to where magnetoquasistatic (MQS) transducers are superior for force production compared to electroquasistatic (EQS) transducers. Considerable progress has been made increasing the force output of MEMS EQS transducers, but progress with MEMS MQS transducers has been more modest. A key reason for this has been the diffic...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for the speed control of a three-phase current forced synchronous machine drive. This metohd is based on the use of an approximate constant commutation safety margin angle in the output thyristor bridge of the drive system as well as on the compenastion of stator magnetization reaction. The commutation process in the output converter of the machine driv...

Three phase induction motors are employed in almost all the industries because of its simple construction and easy operation. Efficiency of the induction motor is affected by its fixed losses and variable losses which mainly depend on the input supply voltage and load current respectively. An attempt is made to minimize the iron losses by controlling the supply voltage. A new Three Winding Indu...

On-line partial discharge (PD) testing has been used for over 50 years to assess the condition of motor and generator stator winding insulation systems. In the past decade, advanced hardware and software have enabled superior methods of converting the PD data into practical information about the relative condition of the insulation, as well as determining the root causes of any insulation deter...

Self reactanceXd in direct axis ’d’ and self reactanceXq in quadrature axis ’q’ influence the load characteristics of the permanent magnet machine. Their calculation methods are known. All calculations should be verified by measurements. Measurement with AC variable voltage and frequency source applied on stator winding is correct when eddy currents do not exist. Other methods evaluate the DC c...

This paper introduces a topology for achieving the brushless operation of wound rotor vernier motor using single-phase additional winding on stator, specifically designed variable-speed applications e.g., washing machines. In proposed topology, stator consists two sets: four-pole three-phase main and an two-pole winding. On other hand, contains 44-pole field to generate effect, excitation induc...
