A road map for the long term development of the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method is presented. Emerging areas are pointed out together with a solution strategy. Special attention is given to speed up approaches, mesh generation, and time domain stability. The purpose with the road map is to facilitate a unified development of the method into an electromagnetic modeling method su...

In this paper, an elaborate broadband model for the air-core winding is created based on the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) approach in order to study the internal overvoltage under the lightning transients. Because the large scale of the resulting model makes it difficult to be solved directly, the waveform relaxation method combined with the overlapping partitioning techniques is u...

An equivalent circuit for an annular porous electrode is derived by reinterpreting the differential equations that approximate the distribution of voltage and current in such electrodes. The equivalent circuit is shown to provide useful physical interpretations of the secondary current distributions. Multi-loop circuit techniques are employed to obtain the current distributions within the circu...

Snapback breakdown is the second order effect of avalanche breakdown in a device. Snapback occur when the excess supply voltage and high currents created flow through the device and become unstable. These two breakdowns are used to explain the concept of Vertical Impact Ionization MOSFET (IMOS) in its Equivalent Circuit Model. The equivalent circuit model design consists of MOS transistors that...

From the rating plate data of an induction motor the nominal efficiency can be determined. Without detailed knowledge of equivalent circuit parameters, partial load behavior cannot be computed. Therefore, a combined calculation and estimation scheme is presented, where the consistent parameters of an equivalent circuit are elaborated, exactly matching the nominal operating point. From these par...

In this paper, measurements of admittance magnitude and phase are used to identify the complex values of equivalent circuit model for free stator of an ultrasonic motor. The model is used to evaluate the changes in the admittance and relative changes in the values of equivalent circuit elements. This method identifies the damages and categorizes them. The validity of the method is verified by u...

The paper derives a generalised operational equivalent circuit for induction machines starting from fundamental principles in any arbitrary rotating reference frame. Directly measurable parameters are used in this equivalent circuit From this generalised model, the equations for any reference frame are derivable as particular cases. The model presented is versatile as it can be used for any ope...

Linear induction motors are used in various industries but they have some specific phenomena which are the causes for some problems. The most important phenomenon is called end effect. End effect decreases efficiency, power factor and output force and unbalances the phase currents. This phenomenon is more important in medium and high speeds machines. In this paper a factor, EEF , is obtained by...
