2 phase 8 pole HB-type(flat-type) Linear Pulse Motor can be used as the high precision position actuator because of its many advantages (simple control circuit, high stiffness characteristics, etc). Also, using the microstep drive, its noise and vibration can be reduced considerably and positional resolution may be increased further. But, $20^{\circ}$tapered tooth shape to reduce the normal force have an much effect on the static thrust force characteristics. And, because of hybrid-type LPM, interaction between the permanent magnet and the excitation current have an effect on the various characteristics of LPM. Hence, in this paper, the effect of tooth shape on static thrust force characteristics was analyzed using the air gap permeance by finite element method. For analyzing the effect of unbalance between the m.m.f of permanent magnet and the m.m.f of excitation current, unbalanced m.m.f coefficient $\sigma$ were introduced with the permenace matrix and switching matrix.

The detent force caused by the interaction of magnets with the teeth of a armature core deteriorates the driving performance of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor. In this paper, we analyze the fields and forces of a linear synchronous motor with segmented or skewed magnet arrangement according to lateral overhang length of permanent magnets. For the analysis, the 3-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network method is used. The detent force and the static thrust are analyzed according to the segmented or skewed angle and the overhang length of permanent magnets, and the optimal angles that the detent force is minimized are found out in each case. The analysis results are compared with the experimental ones and shown a reasonable agreement.

The topological investigations regarding magnetic circuit geometry and winding form of the transverse flux machine have brought up a variety of constructable arrangements with different features for several types of application[1, 2]. Here with, a novel PM-exited linear motor with inner mover, based on the transverse flux configuration leads to a considerable increase in power density for moving part. In this study we designed PM-exited transverse flux linear motor for ropeless elevator, whose output power density is higher and weight is lighter than conventional linear synchronous motors. When the designed motor in this study is applied to ropeless elevator, it is possible to increase power density more than 400% comparing with PM exited linear synchronous motor. The result of this study can be utilized for ropeless elevator or gearless direct linear moving system with high output[3].

This paper deal with the experimental discussion about the impulse and AC dielectric strength of SF6 gas insulated transformer. Test sample is measured the dielectric breakdown voltage about modeling of the first and second section which is the weakest for surge voltage. The AC breakdown voltage is appeared 1.4 times than impulse breakdown voltage, so we can estimate that the impulse breakdown voltage is severe to AC breakdown voltage, and when the impulse is applied, in case of lmm tapping with Nomex paper, the characteristics of dielectric breakdown voltage is same to that in oil immersed transformer when SF6 gas pressure is 2.2kg/$cm^2$G.

This paper treats the optimization of rotor construction in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for electric vehicle (EV). While the field system of PMSM has generally one magnet per pole, we replace the magnet into plural sub-magnets. The dimensions of each sub-magnet are determined by the concept of pulse width modulation (PWM). By adopting the proposed rotor construction, we can not only reduce the space harmonics of the air-gap field but also provide space for rotor bars (i.e., damper windings) around the direct-axis. From the investigation by hybrid EE-BE (coupled finite element and boundary element) method coupled with both electric circuit and motion equation, we verify that the construction is effective for practical use.

This paper proposes a technique to design of air-core type Linear DC Motor(LDM) by using Equivalent Magnetizing Current(EMC) method and has performed its dynamic analysis. The magnetic flux density differ in accordance with airgap position due to difference of mechanical and magnetic air gap length and the coil shape has an influence on the thrust. Therefore, the analysis of magnetic field due to the magnets is carried out by EMC. The phenomena according to the various coil various coil shape under the same Magneto Motive Force(MMF) has been analyzed and its result is applied to the design process. The appropriateness of the proposed technique is confirmed by Finite Element Method(FEM) and its dynamic analysis is carried out from the coupling of the electrical circuit equation and mechanical kinetic equation.

In this paper, the analysis of the arc-flow in the GCB is presented by using the modified FLIC method and the arc model. The modified FLIC method adopts the upwind scheme and requires short calculation time. The arc model used in this paper treats the arc as a energy source in the energy equation. The energy source is composed of the ohmic heating and the radiation energy transfer. At each step, the movement of electrode is simulated. From the simulation, reasonable results can be obtained.

A moving-coil-type linear oscillatory actuator(LOA) consists of the NdFeB permanent magnets with high specific energy as the stator, a coil-wrapped nonmagnetic hollow rectangular structure. The LOA system was represented by the voltage equation of coil and the mechanical equation of motion. This set of equations was manipulated in state-space form. The EMF constant kE of equation parameters in state-space form can be obtained by using the induced voltage in armature coils at open circuit test. kE and other parameters provide the system matrices and transfer function for frequency response and dynamic simulation. Voltage source inverter-fed LOA is examined aiming to compare with results of simulation.

This paper presents new Zero-Voltage-/Zero-Current-Switching (ZVZCS) PWM DC-DC converters. The proposed soft-switching technique achieves ZVS and ZCS simultaneously at both turn-on and turn-off of the main switch and diode by using only one auxiliary switch. Also, the proposed soft-switching technique is suitable for not only minority but also majority carrier semiconductor devices. The auxiliary circuit of the proposed topology is placed out the main power path and therefore, there are no voltage/current stresses on the main switch and diode. The operating principle of the proposed topology is illustrated by a detailed study with a boost converter as an example. Theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results are presented to explain the proposed schemes.

In this paper a new controller is proposed to operate the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) by the control method of the maximum torque per ampere in constant torque region. The implementation method of the conventional torque controller is explained and analyzed exactly. The proposed controller does not use the torque and q-axis current of the speed controller but the amplitude of the stator current in order to utilize not only the magnetic alignment torque but also the reluctance in the constant region, gurantees the linearity of the torque, and is easily implemented. These attractive are verified through the experiment.

The resonant circuit offers the IGBT bridge to have PWM operation with minimal switching losses. A theoretical analysis and computer simulation with Is-Spice were done to verify the operation of the proposed system. Also a acaled-model of the system was built and tested for verifying the feasibility of proposed system.

The performance and dynamic characteristics of three-phase active power filter with PCC voltage compensation is presented and analyzed in this paper. The characteristics of parallel active filter are discussed when they are applied to nonlinear loads with current source and voltage source type, the characteristics of voltage compensator and comparison of two functions are discussed. The proposed scheme in this paper employs a PWM voltage-source inverter and has two operation modes. First, it operates as a conventional active filter with reactive power compensation while PCC voltage is in a certain range. Second, is operates as a voltage compensator while PCC voltage is out of range. Finally, the validity of this scheme is investigated through analysis of simulation and experimental results for a prototype active power filter system rated at 10KVA.
