The article presents an analysis of the winding type influence on the efficiency of an induction motor. The aim of this work is to choose such a type of stator winding that the induction motor will have the best efficiency by employing minimum winding (copper) mass. Three types of stator windings were considered in the analysis: concentric single layer winding, concentric double layer winding a...

In this paper, for the first time, we report manufacturing and characterization of large UHTCMCs discs, made a ZrB2/SiC matrix reinforced with PyC-coated PAN-based carbon fibres. This work was result long term collaboration between different institutions shows how it is possible to scale-up production process fabrication components. 150 mm discs were produced by filament winding consolidated sp...

The development of transformer models can be achieved based on experimental frequency response measurements providing access to the windings is available and the physical dimensions are known in order to calculate R, L and C parameter values. Of interest are methods that allow the generation of a suitable model if the R, L and C parameters are unknown and access is restricted to the external te...

Inductive magnetic probes are often used to measure oscillating magnetic fields in plasma.r3 The sensitivity of a magnetic probe to electrostatic potentials (“capacitive pickup”) is usually an important consideration. Centertapped construction of such a probe, shown in Fig. 1 (b), helps to minimize capacitive pickup with respect to a simply wound probe [Fig. 1 (a)]. This relies on the fact that...

Cable wound electric machines are used mainly for high voltage and direct-drive applications. They can be found in areas such as wind power, hydropower, wave power and high-voltage motors. Compared to conventional winding techniques, cable winding includes fewer manufacturing steps and is therefore likely to be better suited for automated production. Automation of the cable winding production s...

Certain level of mechanical deformations in winding does not hamper the normal performance of power transformer. However, such incipient deformations if unattended could result in permanent failure of transformer. To this end, an approach is proposed to assess the severity of mechanical deformations in transformer winding. These deformations get reflected as changes in its high frequency behavi...

Cable winding is an alternative technology to create stator windings in large electrical machines. Today such cable winding is performed manually, which is very repetitive, time-consuming and therefore also expensive. This paper presents the design, function and control system of a developed cable feeder tool for robotized stator cable winding. The presented tool was able to catch a cable insid...
