In this paper a virtual mutual inductance approach is used to analyse the performance of transverse flux machines (TFMs). The virtual mutual inductance between the stator windings and the magnets’ equivalent currents is obtained by integrating the flux produced by the stator windings over the surface of the magnets. Key design parameters such as back EMF, torque, phase inductance and power fact...

PWM Inverters in induction motor drives are known to cause common-mode voltage which results in leakage current flowing through the parasitic capacitors to the ground and creates drawbacks such as shaft voltage, bearing current, electromagnetic interference problems. CMV elimination using conventional Three-level NPC multilevel topology has certain drawbacks. An improved SVPWM strategy using Du...

This paper deals with magnetic modeling of a bearingless synchronous reluctance motor. The motor under consideration includes two separate sets of three-phase windings, one for torque production and the other one for radialforce production. This paper demonstrates by means of finite-element analysis, that it is unrealistic to assume the two three-phase windings to be decoupled from one another....

The paper discusses an improved modeling of transformer windings based on particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) and frequency response analysis (FRA). With the purpose to accurately identify transformer windings parameters a model-based identification approach is introduced using a well-known lumped parameter model. It includes search space estimation using analytical calculations, which ...

This paper presents the design, the fabrication and the characterization of a planar interleaved microtransformer with an Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) core. The design of this micro-transformer and the manufacturing steps are presented. HFSS software is used for the conception and the simulation of the interleaved magnetic micro-transformer. It is composed of two identical windings. A bottom magne...

Increasing performance and enabling novel functionalities of microelectronic devices, such as three-dimensional (3D) on-chip architectures in optics, electronics, and magnetics, calls for new approaches in both fabrication and characterization. Up to now, 3D magnetic architectures had mainly been studied by integral means without providing insight into local magnetic microstructures that determ...
