The three-phase diode rectifier with a capacitive filter is highly sensitive to line voltage unbalance, and may cause significantly unbalanced line currents even under slightly unbalanced voltage condition. This paper presents an analysis of this 'unbalance amplification' effect for an ideal rectifier circuit without ac-and dc-side inductors. The voltage unbalance is modeled by introducing a deviation voltage superimposed on balanced three-phase line voltages. With proper approximations, closed-form expressions for symmetrical components of the line current and current unbalance factor are derived in terms of the voltage unbalance factor, filter reactance, and load current. The validity of analytical predictions is confirmed by simulation.

The power source of an AC-PDP fur sustainer circuit is operated in high-voltage and high frequency switching during the process required to achieve the gas discharge current to generate light in a PDP panel. Since PDP has the characteristics of a pure capacitive load, the displacement current that occurs during charge and discharge generates considerable reactive power. An auxiliary circuitry called Energy Recovery Circuit (ERC) reduces the capacitive displacement current. However, this auxiliary topology also bears high stress in its components. In this paper, a multilevel voltage wave shaping sustainer circuit with auxiliary ERC characteristics for an AC-PDP driver is proposed. A comparative analysis and experimental results are presented.

A digital CDI(Capacitive Discharge Ignition) system on small two stroke motorcycle engine was developed in this paper, This CDI system with microprocessor as its main part has more flexible spark timing than the conventional CDI system because of its programmable characteristics. The principle of this digital CDI system and the design methods of hardware and software were presented in this paper, Two stroke small engine was tested to investigate the performance of digital CDI system And also this system was investigated to optimize the engine performance. Also comparison between conventional CDI can provide better spark timing variation than the conventional system. The part and full load test results show that the engine power was increased about 10-20% and fuel consumption was decreased about 10-20% simultaneously. Furthermore, this digital CDI system has simple structure, low cost and very little modification are required. It is a promising technology to substitute for the widely used conventional CDI system.

Piezo devices have large power density and simple structure. They can generate larger force than the conventional actuators. It has also wide bandwidth with fast response in a compact size. Thus the piezo devices are expected to be used widely in the future for small actuators with fast response time and large actuating force. However, the piezo actuators need high voltage with high driving current due to their large capacitive property. In this paper, we propose a simple method to drive piezo devices using voltage inversion circuit with coil inductance. Experiments with real circuit demonstrates that the proposed scheme can improve the energy efficiency very much.

In this paper, a new continuously and linearly controlled capacitive static VAR compensator is proposed for the automatic power factor correction of inductive single phase loads in 220V 50Hz power system networks. The compensator is constructed of a harmonic-suppressed TCR equipped with a new adaptive current controller. The harmonic-suppressed TCR is a new configuration that includes a thyristor controlled reactor (TCR) shunted by a passive third harmonic filter. In addition, the parallel configuration is connected to an AC source via a series first harmonic filter. The harmonic-suppressed TCR is designed so that negligible harmonic current components are injected into the AC source. The compensator is equipped with a new adaptive closed loop current controller, which responds linearly to reactive current demands. The no load operating losses of this compensator are negligible when compared to its capacitive reactive current rating. The proposed system is validated on PSpice which is very close in terms of performance to real hardware.

Due to the mismatched line impedance among distributed generation units (DGs) and uncontrolled harmonic current, the droop controller has a number of problems such as inaccurate reactive power sharing and voltage distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC). To solve these problems, this paper proposes a resistive-capacitive virtual impedance control method. The proposed control method modifies the DG output impedance at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies to compensate the mismatched line impedance among DGs and to regulate the harmonic current. Finally, reactive power sharing is accurately achieved, and the PCC voltage distortion is compensated. In addition, adaptively controlling the virtual impedance guarantees compensation performance in spite of load changes. The effectiveness of the proposed control method was verified by experimental results.

When induction motor is driven with a load commutated inverter, the output part of the inverter must be capacitive. But, in order to be a good load commutation at the low speed range, very large capacitor or force commutated circuit must be used regarding the capacity of motor. This paper proposed the force commutated circuit for driving the motor in case of the installation of capacitor which can be capable of load commutation at the rating speed. The force commutated circuit is operated by the LC resonant circuit, auxiliary source and SCR, and also composed of the commutation circuit which control the interval of the inverse voltage across the inverter.

The ratios of compliant branch circuit of leakage current and insulation resistance were 68.4% and 90.8%, respectively at the lamp load, 64.6% and 96.5% at the heat load, 86.7% and 88.9% at the power load. Limit of residual current of the zero phase secondary current value at the zero phase primary current was 100 A when rated primary current 400 A more than. The reason why the ratio of branch circuit of the leakage current was less than the ratio of compliant branch circuit of the insulation resistance might be that the leakage current includes the capacitive leakage current and the zero phase current.

This paper describes a data structure and evaluation algorithm to improve the perofmrances MOS logic-with-timing simulation in computation and accuracy. In order to efficiently simulate the logic and timing of driver-load networks, (1) a tree data structure to represent the mutual interconnection topology of switches and nodes in the driver-lod network, and (2) an algebraic modeling to efficiently deal with the new represetnation, (3) an evaluation algorithm to compute the linear resistive and capacitive behavior with the new modeling of driver-load networks are developed. The higher modeling presented here supports the structural and functional compatibility with the linear switch-level to simulate the logic-with-timing of digital MOS circuits at a mixed-level. This research attempts to integrate the new approach into the existing simulator RSIM, which yield a mixed-klevel logic-with-timing simulator MIXIM. The experimental results show that (1) MIXIM is a far superior to RSIM in computation speed and timing accuracy; and notably (2) th etiming simulation for driver-load netowrks produces the accuracy ranged within 17% with respect ot the analog simulator SPICE.

Surge protective devices(SPDs) are widely used as a most effective means protecting the electrical and electronic equipment against overvoltages such as lightning and switching surges. When installing SPDs, it is essential that the voltage protection level provided by SPDs should be lower than the withstand voltage of the equipment being protected. But even the proper selection of SPDs are achieved, the voltage at the equipment terminal may be higher than the residual voltage of SPD due to the reflection and oscillation phenomena. This paper was focused on the investigations of the conditions for which the equipment is protected by an SPD taking into account the influences of the protective distance and type of load. The protective effects of SPD with voltage-limiting component were analyzed as functions of types of load and protective distance between the SPD and load. As a result, in the cases of long protective distances, capacitive loads and loads with high resistance, the voltage at the load terminal was significantly higher than the residual voltage of SPD. It was found that the proper installation of SPDs should be carried out by taking into account the protective distance and type of load to achieve reliable protection of electronic equipments against surges.
