Rotor initial position is an important factor affecting the control performance of electrically excited synchronous motors. This study presents a novel method for estimating rotor initial position based on sliding discrete Fourier transform (sDFT). By injecting an ac excitation into the rotor winding, an induced voltage is generated in stator windings. Through this voltage, the stator flux can be obtained using a pure integral voltage model. Considering the influence from a dc bias and an integral initial value, we adopt the sDFT to extract the fundamental flux component. A quadrant identification model is designed to realize the accurate estimation of the rotor initial position. The sDFT and high-pass filter, DFT, are compared in detail, and the contrast between dc excitation and ac injection is determined. Simulation and experimental results verify that this type of novel method can eliminate the influence of dc bias and other adverse factors, as well as provide a basis for the control of motor drives.

For the first time in Korea, a 100hp high Tc superconducting(HTS) motor has been designed, developed and successfully tested recently. The design was based on 2-dimensional electromagnetic field analysis of cylindrical coordinate. The field winding of rotor was wound with Bi-2223 tapes and tested after assembled with other rotor components. The stator had air-gap type armature windings which allow higher terminal voltage and more sinusoidal voltage waveform than conventional iron cored machines. Steady state open & short-circuit test and resistive load test were conducted also in generator mode. The fabrication and test results of this machine were discussed in this paper.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the axial magnetic flux measurement could be used as a tool of the condition monitoring system for the induction motor and to develope the diagnostic algerian for the electric motors. The magnetic leakage flux signal is captured by the flux coil located at the end of motor without the disturbance of the operation. And the signal is analyzed both time and frequency bases to detect the failure of the motor. Specific signature can be described in time and frequency domain for each faults of the motor. The spectrum of the signal was found more useful for the monitoring purpose. The supply voltage imbalance and tin to turn failure of the stator winding could be detected by analysing the specific sidebands of the axial flux and sideband of the rotor bar pass frequency with the high resolution spectrum. The goal of this study verity that the axial flux measurement for the induction motor is a powerful tool for the diagnostic method and develope the algorithm to detect the fault.

Nanostructured materials are attracting increased interest and application. Exciting perspectives may be offered by electrical insulation. Epoxy/Organoclay nanocomposites may find new and upgraded applications in the electrical industry, replacing conventional insulation to provide improved performances in electric power apparatus, e.g, high voltage motor/generator stator winding insulation, dry mold transformer, etc. In the paper work, the electrical and thermal properties of epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites materials were studied. The electrical insulation characteristics were analyzed through the permittivity characteristics. by analyzing the permittivity spectra, it was found that dielectric constant becomes smaller with increase frequency and becomes larger with increase temperature. This indicates restriction of molecular motion and strong bonds at the epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites. The morphology of nanocomposites obtained was examined using TEM and X-ray diffraction. It has been shown that the presence of polar groups leads to an increased gallery distance and partial exfoliation. Nevertheless, full exfoliation of clay platelets has not been achieved.

고전압회전기 고정자권선 절연물의 일반적인 운전조건에서 나타나는 열화특성은 많은 연구결과를 바탕으로 발전되어 왔다. 특히 고정자권선 절연물이 습한환경에서 운영되었을 경우 일반적인 절연물의 열화특성과는 다른것을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 흡습특성에 대해 실제 산업현장에서 운영중인 고전압전동기 권선 절연물에서 나타나는 절연특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를위해 습한환경에서 운영중인 전동기를 선정하여 절연특성시험을 실시하였고 직류 및 교류시험전압결과에서 절연물의 흡습상태에 따른 고유의 절연특성결과값을 얻을 수 있었다.

This test was performed to assess the insulation deterioration condition of the stator winding of 3.3kV class induction motors which have been in service for 15 years after being installed in 1988. The insulation diagnostic tests include resistance, polarization index(P.I). dissipation factor(${\Delta}tan{\delta}$) and maximum partial discharges(Qmax). The results of diagnostic tests were compared to the visual inspection in overhaul.

This paper introduce to improve the reliability of the expected service life and the insulation condition evaluation of the high voltage induction motors by assessing, comparing and analyzing the correlation between the dielectric properties of the off-line insulation diagnostic test and dielectric strength on the insulation breakdown test. The insulation diagnostic tests include insulation resistance, polarization index(P.I.), dissipation factor($tan{\delta}$), maximum partial discharges($Q_{max}$) and AC breakdown test. This study evaluated the correlation between insulation diagnostic test and AC breakdown test for stator winding of high voltage induction motor. On the basis of these test results, we expect that this study can be used for effectively assessing the results of insulation diagnostic tests for similar class induction motors in service at industrial field.

Partial discharge(PD) test can be performed either when the rotating machine is not operating(off-line) or during normal machine operation(on-line). This paper presents an on-line and off-line PD test on a large hydro-generator and induction motor using the same PD acquisition system(PDAS) and ceramic coupler(CC) sensor. PD signal characteristics of CC sensor proved similar with that of epoxy mica coupler(EMC) sensor as a results of PD test for simulated defect winding and frequency response test. A comparison of on-line and off-line PD test for PD characteristic parameters-phase resolved PD(PRPD), maximum PD value(Qmax) and PD occurrence energy(POE)-indicated that on-line PD test could reliably and effectively diagnose insulation conditions which were verified by off-line PD test.
