Partial discharges (PD) are recognized as the main cause of the inner insulation deterioration process in power transformers. Therefore, the optimum inner insulation design is one of the challenges a transformer designer is faced with. Transformer strength, especially during transient conditions, is a criterion for transformer insulation designers. This challenge has made designers initiate and...

Transient overvoltages appearing at line terminal of power transformer HV windings can cause failure of winding insulation. The failure can be from winding to ground or between turns or sections of winding. In most of the cases, failure from winding to ground can be detected by changes in the wave shape of surge voltage appearing at line terminal. However, detection of insulation failure betwee...

With changing the parameters of layer winding in transformers, capacitive characteristic coefficient of winding will be changed. Since, impulse voltage distribution (IVD) along a winding is depended on this coefficient, so analyzing this coefficient is important in transformers. This paper study and analyze a transformer with layer winding and rectangular cross-section. In this study, the influ...

In this paper motion analysis on a winding stair-climbing is investigated using our proposed rotational arm type of robotic wheelchair. For now, the robotic wheelchair is operated in an open mode to climb winding stairs by a dynamic turning, therefore, the dynamics model is required to ensure a passenger’s safety. Equations of motion based on the skid-steering analysis are developed for the tra...

Winding is an integral operation in almost every roll to roll system. A center-wound roll is one of the suitable and general schemes in a winding mechanism. In general, the quality of wound roll is known to be related to the lateral displacement error and starring defect of a wound roll. Especially, a telescoping within a center-wound roll can cause damages such as misalignment between layers, ...

The composite tape winding process, which utilizes a tape winding machine and prepreg tapes, provides a promising way to improve the quality of composite products. Nevertheless, the process parameters of composite tape winding have crucial effects on the tensile strength and void content, which are closely related to the performances of the winding products. In this article, two different objec...

Permanent Magnet Machines (PMM) with a phase number (m) higher than three allow redundancy and lower torque ripple compared to their three phase counterparts. In this paper, a six phase permanent magnet machine with surface rotor magnets, designed with fractional slot tooth winding is proposed. A stator design with fractional slot tooth winding allows the design of a compact machine through sho...

At high frequency, the winding losses of power transformer due to skin and proximity effects becomes a significant component in the loss calculation of the transformer efficiency. This paper examines the winding losses associated with these effects for planar-type low-profile transformers that are suitable for high frequency high density soft switching power supply application. The transformer ...
