The Permanent Magnet (PM) machine used at speed control using field-weakening control method. But the field-weakening current, which reduces the field flux for high speeds, causes significant copper and core losses. Therefore, this paper deals with the PM performance evaluations in a pole changing memory motor (PCMM). The PCMM can change the number of magnetic poles and produce two types of torque. When the motor operates with eight poles, it produces a magnetic torque at low rotational speeds. When the motor changes to four poles, it produces both magnetic torque and reluctance torque at high speeds. The paper explain the principle and basic characteristics of the motor by using a finite element method magnetic-field analysis, which consists of a PM magnetized by a pulse d-axis current of the armature winding. The results of our experiment show that the proposed motor reduces core loss by 10% and 55% under no-load and load conditions, and doubles the speed range of the motor.

In this paper, a new permanent-magnet (PM) linear motor is proposed, in which both the magnets and armature windings are placed in the short mover, while the long stator consists of iron core only. Hence, this new PM linear motor can be called a primary permanent-magnet linear motor. It exhibits the advantages of robustness, low cost, high efficiency, high power factor, and high thrust force density. It is especially suitable for long stator applications such as urban rail transit. In this paper, the topology and operation principle of this motor are discussed in detail. The steady-state characteristics including field distributions, flux-linkage, back-EMF, phase inductance and thrust force are investigated. In addition, the technique of skewing stator teeth is adopted to improve the electromagnetic performance. Results from finite element method (FEM) verified the theoretical analysis results.

The technique to design high performance small motors has been based on experimental data, which results from lots of cost, experience and time in manufacturing. Recently, as high-performance computer appears, many engineers use numerical methods to design and analyze electric machine. Since, the step motor which has very small air gap(0.02-0.05mm) is different from other electric machine in its structure. The shape of rotor teeth and stator teeth influence seriously on the torque characteristics. And it is operated over magnetic saturation point. Therefore, the design of step motor needs to solve nonlinear problem and to calculate magnetic field precisely. In this paper, we solve nonlinear problem by employing Finite Element Method and obtain torque-displacement characteristics for the design of step motor. We also manufacture VR step motor according to the obtained results, and measure some torque characteristics. Through comparing calculated results with experimental results, it is verified that FEM is very useful to design step motor, and the motor designed by our technique is improved in its step accuracy.

In this paper, the characteristics of a thin-type ultrasonic motor generating elliptical displacements analyzed by FEM are presented, and then fabrication of the motor is then described. The structure of the motor consists of sixteen ceramic pieces attached to the upper and bottom surfaces of an elastic body. The principle of the motor is to apply alternating voltages which have a 90 phase difference to the attached ceramics, and then elliptical displacements are generated at four edges of the elastic body. Then the rotor is moved by the elliptical displacements. In the case of a ceramic thickness of 1.5, the highest speed was obtained at 79 kHz. In the case of a ceramic thickness of 2 mm, the highest speed was obtained at 77.5 kHz. Consequently, the speed and torque of the ultrasonic motor (USM) increased linearly with increasing applied voltage.

This paper deals with the performance analysis of three phase induction motor considering its stator side faults and operating thermal limits. The speed control of induction motor using three phase boost converter operated by a MOSFET switch and a PI controller is demonstrated and presented in this article. IGBTs switches are used for inverter drive mechanism. The experimental result of speed control of induction motor using voltage control technique clearly shows better accuracy than conventional methods of speed control. A three phase 1HP 415V 0.78 kW 4 Pole induction motor is designed using motor solver software. Based on the parameters used in the software thermal analysis of induction motor is done and torque variation with conductor area, efficiency, output curve, losses in different parts of motor has been obtained. Also different types of faults namely under voltage, over voltage, stator imbalanced voltage, turn to turn, locked rotor bar, wrong alignment of rotor bar with respect to stator are studied and fault analysis is performed. Hence comparison is made based upon the results obtained before and after faults.

This paper presents a spherical motor which can control in multi-degree of freedom operation. The spherical motor has been researched by many types of structure. Thhis paper shows a spherical shaped airgap and surfaced permanent magnets. Especially, The motor consists of dual rotor cores. Unlike a cylindrical motor, the spherical motor design can be considered with azimuth direction on spherical coordinates. Therefore the permanent magnet surfaced on the rotor need to be designed optimally in order to generate a sinusoidal magnetic flux density in the airgap. This paper presents results of optimal design for reducing torque ripple of the multi-degree of freedom spherical motor.

This paper is investigated the sensorless drive for BLDC motor using microprocessor. Since the BLDC motor should be commutated according to a rotor position, the sensors are required to detect the position. But the sensors increase cost and volume, complicate the motor configuration, and do not operate properly in some operating environments such as high temperature conditions, so that the necessity of sensorless commutation algorithm is getting increased. This paper is proposed the method to drive BLDC motor without position-detecting sensor using Back EMF. Back EMF commutation method was implemented the sensorless drive system which could control the rotational speed and monitor the behavior of a motor.

In this paper, the study presents the development of 34kW class cryogenic induction motor using LNG Pump. Operating temperature of an induction motor using LNG Main Cargo Pump is at −163℃. Due to variation of the resistivity, these motor have different torque characteristics. So, it should design to considering the resistivity change. The most important consideration of induction machine operating is cryogenic temperature. If the temperature rise, LNG is vaporized. it is a major cause of pump failure. There are several causes of heat source like coreloss, hysterisysloss, copperloss. This paper analyzed the thermal distribution of the induction motor at rated speed operation.
