This paper is to describe how to apply the Phase-shifted Full Bridge 100kHz high frequency soft-switching PWM method to 48[V], 200[A] DC/DC converter. The soft-switching is achieved from light load to full load by using phase-shifted zero voltage switching method with additional capacitors besides the MOSPET's of the right leg even though the leakage inductance of high frequency transformer is designed small. This method can reduce the switching tosses, EMI problems, and increase the effective duty. Also, this paper includes the simulation, analysis, and experiment results of the DC/DC converter unit.

This paper presents design and characteristics analysis of transverse flux switched reluctance generator(TFSRG) for wind turbine. Dimension is calculated by using output equation and maximum magnetomotive force(mmf) equation per pole. Design specification within effective range of mechanical and electrical energy is suggested in order to perform the analysis. it is confirmed to torque, inductance and induced electromotive force(emf) for one phase through three dimension Finite Element Analysis. Then design specification can be verified by comparing with proposed specification.

This paper presents the transient behaviors of grounding system impedance against lighting impulse currents. The dynamic characteristics of the deeply driven ground rod and grounding grid subjected to the impulse current with various rise time were investigated. It was found that the transient ground impedance strongly depends on the configuration and size of grounding electrodes and the shapes of impulse currents, and the inductance of grounding electrodes has a significant affect on the transient ground impedance of grounding system in the short time domain.

We studied on the design of electrical parameters for ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma) light sources which can be effective to improve the electrical power efficiency of it. These parameters were derivated from Barkhausen theory about the oscillating condition of a ballaster. The relationships of $f-I_p$ and f-n were calculated theoretically and then these relationships were compared with the measured results about $I_p$ and power depending to a discharge length(l) of ICP light source. Finally, we can see that a specific range of induced current depending to a discharge length would be necessary to minimize the change of magnetization inductance and driving frequency at driving.

This paper presents a new method on controller design of brushless dc motors. In such drives the current ripples are generated by motor inductance in stator windings and the back EMF. To suppress the current ripples the current controller is generally used. To minimize the size and the cost of the drives it is desirable to control motors without the current controller and the current sensing circuits. To estimate the motor current it is modeled by a neural network that is configured as an output-error dynamic system. The identified model is essentially a one step ahead prediction structure in which fast inputs and outputs are used to calculate the current output. Using the model, effective estimator to compensate the effects of disturbance has been designed. The effectiveness of the proposed current estimator is verified through experiments.

This paper present a method of current control for torque ripple reduction in brushless dc motor which have a trapezoid back EMF. In such drives the current ripples are generated by motor inductance in stator windings and the back EMF. The ripples suppression techniques that are practically effective in high speed as well as in low speed regions are rarely found. The proposed method here is based on a strategy that the commutation intervals of the incoming ang the outgoing phases can be equalized by a proper PWM control.

This paper investigates a high performance converter topology for hydrogen gas generation electrolysis system. The proposed converter topology consists of full-bridge inverter, medium frequency transformer, and diode rectifier. Hydrogen gas generation electrolysis process considered in the paper is analyzed and characterized by its equivalent circuit. The electrolysis cell is modeled as effective resistance, capacitance, inductance, and internal emf voltage source. The proposed converter topology provides enhanced efficiency of hydrogen gas generation process under the operating condition of dc output voltage with high frequency ripple on it. The high performance operation of proposed converter is confirmed through the simulation with the electrolysis cell considered in the equivalent circuit model.

Nondestructive eddy current testing has been used for measuring the electromagnetic properties of metals. It is well known that the conventional eddy current sensors are not effective to measure multi-layer properties. In this paper, the mutual inductance type sensor is studied and transformed fractions of metals are measured. Characteristic factors in eddy current testing are considered and their influences on the testing results are investigated.

This paper presents Single Phase Switched Reluctance Motor (SPSRM) optimum design for vacuum cleaners using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to determine geometric parameters, and the 2-D Finite Element Method (FEM) has been coupled with the circuit equations of the driving converter. Additionally, an optimum process for SPSRM has been proposed and peformed with geometric and electric parameters thereby influencing the inductance variation and effective torque generation as design variables. SPSRM performances have also been analyzed to determine an optimal design model for maximized efficiency at high power factor. In order to confirm the propriety of the Finite Element Method and motor performance calculation, simulation waveform and experiment waveform for motor voltage and current were compared.

The plunger speed of solenoid actuator is affected by mass of plunger magnetic motive force. inductance, and return spring. These factors are not independent but related with each other according to design characteristics of solenoid actuator So, it is impossible to change the designed value for the purpose of increasing plunger speed. In this paper, we performed the FEM analysis for non-magnetic ring which is used for increasing attraction force and plunger speed by concentration of effective magnetic flux, and also performed simulation for dynamic characteristics of plunger. And, we proved the propriety of these by experiments.
