This article describes an approach for implementing a complete computer system ~CPU, RAM, I/O, and nonvolatile mass memory! on a single integrated-circuit substrate ~a chip!—hence, the name ‘‘single-chip computer.’’ The approach presented combines advances in the field of microelectromechanical systems ~MEMS! and micromagnetics with traditional low-cost very-large-scale integrated circuit style...

Detecting and removing minor faults in power transformer winding is essential because minor faults may develop and lead to major faults and finally irretrievable damages occur. In this paper in order to detect the position of short-circuit in the winding, frequency response of the input impedance of a power transformer is analyzed. Common short-circuits are categorized and the results are compa...

Air-gap is one of the most crucial part of magnetic circuits, especially in high power inductors. It significantly modifies parameters of magnetic devices by increasing of saturation current, linearizes B-H curve of magnetic circuit and causes decreasing of the inductance. Therefore, the optimal selection of a shape and dimensions of air-gap is very important from designing point of view. This ...

Most simulation models of electric machines use the coupled circuit approach, where the machine is considered as an electric circuit element with time-varying inductances (abc model) or with constant inductances (dq0 model). On the other hand, the rotating magnetic field approach, which considers the electric machine as two groups of windings producing rotating magnetic fields and can give insi...

Knowledge about the magnetic quantities in a magnetic circuit is always of great interest. On the one hand, this information is needed for the simulation of a transformer. On the other hand, parameter studies are more reliable, if the magnetic quantities are derived from a well established model. One possibility to model the 3-phase transformer is by using a magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC). T...
