The electric wave propagation characteristics of electromagnetic field by induction current shows a nonlinear distinction in the metal but linear on air. This paper is written about the magnetic transmission distinction in the metalic tube, which wrapped the center axis by the same direction. The electromagnetic field made by the transmission signal is transferred from the transmission coil area toward the receiving coil by the magnetic diffusion. So, it is different magnetic flux around the coil with one in the remote field area. Analyzing such a complex magnetic characteristic, we verified this theory by the vector analysis and presented eddy current mechanism and analytical model about magnetic distribution in the remote field area. This magnetic distribution rate in metal body will be very useful in the nondestructive inspection of the eddy current in remote field which is recently rising as a new technology.

In this paper, with the end effect taken into consideration, the fundamental characteristics of a linear induction motor-the eddy currents of the secondary conducting sheet (traveller), the flux density in the air gap-are analysed by means of electromagnetic field theory. Accordingly, the derived governing eqations of the chatacteristics with goodness factor, presents that it was possible not only to predict the performance characteristics, but to obtain the data that needs to optimize a design of a motor with the reduction of the end effect.

High-speed electrical motor has been studied for several applications, i.e. for direct-drive systems of centrifugal compressors and turbo blowers. This paper deals with a design consideration of electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal limits of high-speed induction motor for turbo blower. Basic design concept of high-speed motor was proposed. As the motor is to be operated at high speed, the losses are quite different from conventional low-speed machines. Especially, the increases of rotor eddy current and friction losses could lead to an overheated motor. So, we suggested a special cooling system to reduce temperature rise. And, based upon this design concept, the prototype induction motor(37[kW], 45,000[rpm]) for high-speed turbo blower was designed and 2-D electromagnetic field analysis was implemented. Finally, criteria to evaluate the characteristics of high-speed induction motor have been proposed and tested.

The non-destructive testing equipment using an eddy current was developed to check for defect in the vehicle transmission component. A defect master sample was made to test all types of defects that occur in the component and also an eddy current detector was manufactured and used to test and detect all kinds of defects. In addition, testing was held against the actual defective items to investigate the cause and type of defects, and a comparative study was conducted based on results from the examination. The software system of the eddy current detector was developed so that even a non-specialist can make assessment of detect in the component from the test results displayed on the monitor.

This paper establishes in a new unified manner new mathematical models with core(iron) loss factor for two kinds of AC motors, induction and synchronous motors which are supposed to generate torque precisely or/and efficiently under vector controls. Our new models consist of three basic equations consistent with the others such as differential equation describing electromagnetic dynamics, torque equation describing torque generating mechanism, energy transmission equation describing how injected energy is wasted, saved or transmitted where all vector signals are defined in general frame of arbitrary instant angular velocity. It is clearly shown in our models that equivalent core-loss resistance can express appropriately and separately both eddy-current and hysteresis losses rather than mere vague loss. Proposed model of induction motor is the most compact in sense of the number of employed interior states and parameters. This compact model can also represent eddy-current and hysteresis losses of rotor as well as stator. For synchronous motor, saliency is taken into consideration. As well known model for cylindrical motor can be obtained directly from salient one as its special case.

Recently, the eddy current testing(ECT), alternating current field testing, magnetic flux leakage testing and remote field testing have been used as a nondestructive evaluation method based on the electromagnetic induction phenomenon. The eddy current testing is now widely accepted as a NDE method for the heat exchanger tube in the electric power industry, chemical, shipbuilding, and military. The ECT system mainly consists of the synthesizer module, analog module, analog-to-digital converter, power supplier, and data acquisition and analysis program. In the previous study, the synthesizer module and the analog module which is essential to the ECT system were primarily developed, and in this study the data acquisition and analysis program were developed. The operation system for this program is based on the Windows 7, and optimized for the Korean users, and the specific feature of this program using setup wizard enables inspector to make a setup easily for acquisition and analysis of ECT data. In this paper, the configuration and functions of eddy current data acquisition and analysis program will be introduced.

With the advent of power semiconductor switching devices, power electronics relating to high frequency electromagnetic eddy current based induction heating technology have become more suitable and acceptable. This paper presents high-frequency induction heating cooking appliance circuit based on the zero current switching-PWM single ended push-pull(ZCS-PWM SEPP) resonant inverter added AC-DC converter. This inverter uses pulse-width-modulation(PWM) control method with active auxiliary quasi-resonant lossless inductor snubbers and a switched capacitor. To improved the transient performance, the PI controller is applied for this system. For the systematic parameter optimization of the PI controller, the gradient-based optimization algorithm is applied. The performance of optimized parameters is evaluated using simulation and experimental test. These results show that the proposed systematic optimal tuning method improve the transient performances of this system.

This paper presents a novel version of an active voltage clamped ZVS-PWM high frequency inverter using IGBTs for electromagnetic induction eddy current-based rolling drum heating in new generation copy and printing machines in consumer business use. The operating principle of this inverter circuit and unique features are described herein. Its constant frequency duty cycle (asymmetrical PWM) controlled voltage source quasi-resonant soft switching high frequency inverter employing IGBTs is proposed, which is capable of achieving stable and efficient zero voltage soft switching commutation over a widely specified power regulation range from full power to low power. The operating performances in a steady state of this inverter is discussed and evaluated on basis of simulation and experimental results as an induction heated roller in new generation copy machine.
