The wire rope of container crane is a important component to container transfer system and is used in a myriad of various applications such as elevator, mine hoist, construction machinery, and so on. If it happen wire rope failures in operating, it may lead to the safety accident and economic loss, which is productivity decline, competitive decline of container terminal, etc. To solve this problem, we developed the active and portable wire rope fault detecting system. The developed system consists of three parts that are the fault detecting, signal processing, and remote monitoring part. All detected signal has external noise or disturbance according to circumstances. Therefore we applied to discrete wavelet transform to extract a signal from noisy data that was used filter. As experimental result, we can reduce the expense for container terminal because of extension of exchange period of wire rope for container crane and this system is possible to apply in several fields to use wire rope.

This paper proposes a new position compensation method for misaligned Hall-effect sensors of BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor). If the Hall-effect sensors are installed at wrong position, the exact rotor position cannot be obtained. Therefore, when the BLDCM is controlled with this wrong position, the torque ripple can be increased and the average torque also decreases. The back-EMF of BLDCM can be obtained by using the voltage equation and by multiplying the back-EMF constant and rotor speed. At a constant speed, the estimated back-EMF by using the multiplication of the back-EMF constant and rotor speed is constant, but the estimated back-EMF from the voltage equation decreases at the commutation point because the line-to-line back-EMF of two conducting phases is start to decrease at this point. Therefore, by using the difference between these two estimated back-EMFs, the commutation point of the phase current can be determined and position compensation can be carried out. The proposed position correction method doesn't require additional hardware circuit and can be easily implemented. The validity of the proposed position compensation method is verified through several experiments.

신재생에너지원의 급속한 보급, 고신뢰 및 고효율 전원망에 대한 고객의 요구, 디지털부하의 급증 등 기술적 사회적 환경의 변화에 따라 직류배전망에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 직류배전망의 안전성에 대한 문제도 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 특히 지락, 단락사고, 절연고장, 낙뢰, 아크, 전식 등으로부터 인체 감전과 기기의 소손, 정지 또는 오동작이 발생될 수 있으며 이로 인해 심각한 문제를 야기될 수 있다. 국제표준 IEC 60364에서는 전기설비에 따른 접지시스템을 TT, TN 및 IT접지의 3가지로 분류하고 있다. TN접지방식은 전원선과 설비외함의 노출 도전부를 보호도체를 사용하여 공통으로 접지하는 계통을 말한다. 따라서, 전원선이 외함에 접촉되거나 인체의 감전에 의한 누전사고가 발생하였을 때 전원선 전체를 통하여 흐르는 전류의 차이를 검출함으로서 사고전류의 검출이 즉각 이루어 질 수 있다. 교류계통에서는 영상전류검출기에 의하여 누설전류의 검출이 가능하지만 직류계통에서는 영상전류검출기를 사용할 수 없으므로 새로운 방식의 누전검출장치의 개발이 요구된다. 또한 감전 사고는 인체의 사고와 설비의 사고 두 가지로 구별되며, 효율적인 전력운영과 안전을 위하여 두가지 사고에 대해 통합적으로 구분 동작이 가능한 누설전류 검출기 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 TN접지계통에서 직류누설전류 검출이 가능한 홀 센서(HCT)를 사용하여 인체 및 설비의 누설전류 패턴에 따라 구분 동작이 가능한 직류용 누설전류 검출기 개발에 관한 연구를 수행하였다.

The stability of magnetic field with current feedback improved 10 times compared with no feedback. This system is used for the calibration of magnetometers and the testing related to magnetic fields.

This paper presents an improved method for high-resolution rotor position estimation in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives with low-resolution Hall-effect sensors. The proposed method adopts a gain-scheduled full-order speed observer. Since the quantized position signal, which is obtained from Hall-effect sensors, is basically used as the input of the observer, the sixth-order harmonics are essentially included in the estimated position. To eliminate the harmonic components, the quantized position is linearized by a linear extrapolation based on the estimated average speed and futhermore the speed-depentent observer gain scheduling strategy is developed. The observer gain is also scheduled by considering the motor acceleration to improve the dynamic performance according to the changes of the motor speed and load. Several experiments are performed for 800W PMSM drive and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A non-contact type magnetic signal monitoring equipment for automotive electric devices is proposed in this paper. There are many kinds of actuators in the car like solenoid, relay, motor, injector, etc which are operated by magnetic energy. It is difficult to find out whether the actuators operate well or not because the terminals of the actuators are combined to the connectors. In this paper a non-contact type magnetic signal monitoring equipment using Hall effect sensor is proposed to measure the magnetic signal of the actuators very easily to find out the actuators' operating status. The simulation and experimental results show that the developed equipment is very useful and has good performance.

In this paper a new defect length estimation algorithm using SQI(self quotient image) is presented for the MFL(magnetic flux leakage) inspection of underground gas pipelines. Gas pipelines are magnetized by the permanent magnets of the MFL PIG(pipeline inspection gauge) when the PIG runs through pipelines. If defects or corrosions exist in the pipeline, magnetic leakage flux is increased. The MFL signals measured by hall sensors are analyzed to estimate defect length using SQI. For 74 real defects carved in KOGAS pipeline simulation facility(KPSF) the accuracy of defect length estimation of the proposed algorithm was compared with that of conventional methods.

NTMS(Non-contact Tilted-angle Measuring System) is developed by using the principle that the magnetic field of an anisotropic magnet's inner space is uniform and it's possible to measure the strength of the magnetic field using a linear hall effect sensor. In order to implement the caliper system of the geometry PIG(Pipeline Inspection Gauge) which has high accuracy and proper output voltage of the hall sensor without additional driving module or a signal amplifier, it is necessary to consider the size of the magnet, the inner space and back-yoke and the position of pin-hole in the magnet. So the optimal design method of the caliper system is proposed through analysis of NTMS's magnetic field adopting a FEM(Finite Element Method). The experimental results show that the developed caliper system can be used for the geometry pig with good performances.

As the increasing of capacity and technology of power facilities, rotating machines are getting higher at capacity and voltage scale. Thus the monitoring and diagnosis of generators for fault detection has attracted intensive interest. In this paper, we developed fault diagnosis system for monitoring the fault operations in bad power systems. In order to verify the performance of this fault diagnosis system, we made the small scaled testing system which has the same winding structure of the real synchronous generator. The magnetic flux patterns in air-gap of a small-scale generator under various fault states as well as a normal state are tested by hall sensors and the fault detection system.

In this paper, we develope a speed control system of a BLDC motor for handpieces used in beauty applications. To reduce implementation cost, the control system utilizes hall sensors embedded in BLDC motors for speed estimation. The developed power module of a motor uses only 220V home voltage, so that the control system does not need any other power sources. An over-speed limit controller is also developed to slow down a motor when the speed goes up rapidly for a moment upon some heavy load is removed. The control system is designed to operate a handpiece with speed in the range of 5,000~30,000 RPM. Experiment results show the validity of the developed system, which maintains the speed of a motor steady even though a load is varied.
