A precise ratio transformer which is used to a ratio arm of a precise impedance measurement bridge at low frequencies was developed. The developed ratio transformer has the ratio taps of 1:1, 2:1, $\cdots$, to 10:1 in order to measure the primary impedance standards by substitution and special winding techniques for 10:1 ratio that is used frequently for impedance build up/down. The calibration results of the transformer has inphase and quadrature error of $0.073\times10^{-6}$ and $0.14\times10^{-6}$ respectively at 1.6 kHz.

In this paper, we proposed the electric circuit using one common arm of H-Bridge inverters to reduce the number of switching component in multi-level inverter combined with H-Bridge Inverters and Transformers. and furthermore we suggested the new multi-level PWM inverter using PWM level to reduce THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) and we used the switching method that can be same rate of usage at each transformer. Also, we tested the proposed prototype 15-level inverter to clarify the proposed electric circuit and reasonableness of control signal for the proposed multi-level PWM inverter.

동일한 변압기를 사용하는 공통암 타입의 절연형 다중레벨 인버터에서 스위칭 주파수를 저감하기 위해 새로운 위상변위제어기법을 제안 하였다. 제안된 스위칭 방식은 인버터의 각 암이 기본주파수당 한번만을 스위칭을 하는 스텝 펄스파 방식을 사용하여 동일한 스위칭 주파수를 유지할 수 있다. 제안된 스위칭 방식의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 기존의 동일변압기를 이용한 멀티레벨 인버터의 스위칭 패턴과 제안된 위상변위 제어방식을 이용한 멀티레벨 인버터의 스위칭 패턴을 시뮬레이션하고 실험을 통해 비교 하였다.

In this paper, a novel space vector control method for isolated multi-level inverter using 3-phase low frequency transformers is proposed. This method is based on the simplification of the space-vector diagram of a five-level inverter using calculated table into fully programming method. The execution time of the proposed method is about same as that of the method using calculated table. Also, the proposed method is easily applied to other case level inverter. We applied this method into the 3-phase IHCML inverter using common arm. It makes possible to use a single DC power source due to employing low frequency transformers. In this inverter, the number of transformers could be reduced compare with an exiting 3-phase multi-level inverter using single phase transformer. In addition, this method generates very low harmonic distortion operation with nearly fundamental switching frequency. Finally, We tested multi-level inverter to clarify electric circuit and reasonableness through Matlab simulation and experiment by using prototype inverter.

The analysis of the switch status of each unit module of a cascaded multi-level inverter reveals that the working condition of the switch of a chopper arm causes unnecessary switching under the conventional unipolar sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). With an increase in the number of cascaded multilevel inverters, the superposition of unnecessary switching gradually occurs. In this work, we propose an improved SPWM strategy to reduce switching in cascaded multilevel inverters. Specifically, we analyze the switch state of the switch tube of a chopper arm of an H-bridge unit. The redundant switch is then removed, thereby reducing the switching frequency. Unlike the conventional unipolar SPWM technique, the improved SPWM method greatly reduces switching without altering the output quality of inverters. The conventional unipolar SPWM technique and the proposed method are applied to a five-level inverter. Simulation results show the superiority of the proposed strategy. Finally, a prototype is built in the laboratory. Experimental results verify the correctness of the proposed modulation strategy.

In this study, remote handling strategies for a large-scale argon cell facility were considered. The suggested strategies were evaluated by several types of field test. The teleoperation tasks were performed using a developed remote handling system, which enabled traveling over entire cell area using a bridge transport system. Each arm of the system had six DOFs (degrees of freedom), and the bridge transport system had four DOFs. However, despite the dexterous manipulators and redundant monitoring system, many operators, including professionals, experienced difficulties in operating the remote handling system. This was because of the lack of a strategy for handling the installed camera system, and the difficulty in recognizing the gripper pose, which might fall outside the FOV (field of vision) of the system during teleoperation. Hence, in this paper, several considerations for the remote handling tasks performed in the target facility were discussed, and the tasks were analyzed based on ergonomic factors such as the workload. Toward the development of a successful operation strategy, several ergonomic issues, such as active/passive view of the remote handling system, eye/hand alignment, and FOV were considered. Furthermore, using the method for classifying remote handling tasks, several unit tasks were defined and evaluated.
