The permanent magnet synchronous machine with an external rotor is the most important device for high performance electrical drive systems in particular for hybrid electric vehicles. With such an application, the machine will operate in a wide speed range and on the other hand with very fast changing loads in both motor and generator operational modes. The paper discusses finite element analyse...

Abstract: Quality assessment during dc motor manufacturing should be accomplished by quality controls in order to detect the different fault conditions associated to the components included in the machine. However, some defects can be produced by the automatic manufacturing process during the assembly of the individual components. Among others, inter-turns short-circuit, turn to earth short-cir...

Stator Winding Fault can be detected by monitoring any abnormality of the Park’s spectrum. In this paper, a fault-detection performance comparison is presented between the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and backpropagation algorithm (BP) using experimental data for a healthy and faulty case. Support Vector Machine and Back propagation Algorithm provide environments to develop fault-detection sche...

The paper deals with modeling of synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) accounting for all phenomena responsible for torque ripple. Based on winding function approach, the proposed model consists in computing self and mutual inductances considering no sinusoidal distribution of stator windings, slotting effect and no sinusoidal reluctance variation caused by the rotor saliency. Then, optimal curr...

The analysis of saturated machines is generally performed with the stator and rotor currents, or mixed combinations of currents and flux linkages as state variables were also taken into account. A synthesis of possible models of induction machines is presented. Possible models contain explicit terms that describe cross-saturation except for the winding flux model. This paper treats the impact o...

The out-of-step operation conditions of a synchronous machine may occur as a result of a power system three-phase fault. The mostly used methods of identification of loss of synchronism are not secure enough. In the paper a new method using highresolution spectrum estimation method is presented. In the case of asynchronous operation of a synchronous machine the current waveform in the stator wi...

One maintenance task that still exist with conventional motors, are bearing lubrication and renewal. Bearingless motors are replaced with conventional motor that uses a magnetic levitation force to suspend a rotor without any mechanical contact. In bearingless motors, additional windings are wound together with motor windings in stator slots. In this paper, a bearingless permanent magnet-type s...
