A high efficiency small electromagnet (22 mm air gap and $40{\times}25mm^{2}$ core's cross section) suitable for measuring magnetostriction and magnetic anisotropy was biult. The magnet could be minaturized by reducing the measuring space and time. The excitation current of the electromagnet was supplied for only a few second of measuring time. Cooling system of the electromagnet could be eliminated since the dissipation energy was very small. An 0.5 T magnetic field was generated with 180 W power consumption. The values of magnetostriction and magnetic anisotropy were measured with a very sensitive capacitance cell with resolution of $10^{-8}$ and 1 nJ. The torque was calibrated using a soft magnetic ribbon's shape anisotropy.

This paper deals with the performance analysis and estimation of the electrical parameters of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) for hydrokinetic energy conversion applications using vortex induced vibration (VIV). The analytical solutions for the magnetic fields produced by permanent magnets (PMs) and stator winding currents are obtained using a 2D polar coordinate system and a magnetic vector potential. An analytical expression for the 2D permeance is also derived, which takes into account stator skew effects. Based on these magnetic field solutions and the 2D permeance function, electrical circuit parameters such as the backemf constant and the air-gap inductance are obtained analytically. The performances of the PMSG are investigated using the estimated electrical circuit parameters and an equivalent circuit (EC). All analytical results are validated extensively using 2D finite element (FE) analyses. Experimental measurements for parameters such as the back-emf and inductance are also presented to confirm the analyses.

For the high speed linear motor and the transportation device at clean room, a magnetic levitation rail without contact using the repulsive force of permanent magnets was newly developed. The characteristics of repulsive and lateral forces of the magnetic levitating system using permanent magnet was studied and the devised magnetic levitating system was evaluated by analytical and experimental approaches. This system is composed of two fixed guide rails with the rare earth permanent magnet array and a moving unit which is attached two magnet pairs at each sides. Because this system was forcedly levitated by the face to face repulsive forces, levitating air gap length can be repulsive force of an auxiliary magnetic repulsion system on the center of moving unit.

Bias magnet에 의한 평면자심재료의 전자기적 특성 변화를 분석하기 위해 E형 코어 사이에서 영구자석의 유무 및 위치 등의 gap 형성 조건에 따른 측성변화를 관찰하였다. 영구자석과 air Gap이 평면코어에 삽입 될 경우 높은 포화 전류값을 가지는데 이는 자기저항이 자성체에 비해서 상당히 높은 에어 갭의 존재로 인해 외부 인가 전류가 증가되어도 자성체에서 생성되는 자속이 대부분 에어갭 내에서 소비되기 때문이다. 그리고 Bias magnet 역할을 하는 영구자석을 자심재료에 가하게 되면 Bias에 의한 역자장과 자성체에서 발생하는 자장이 서로 상쇄되어 포화 전류는 증가하게 된다. 또한, Bias magnet로 영구자석을 삽입하연 공진주파수는 고주파 대역으로 이동하므로 대전류 고주파 특성이 요구되는 응용장치에 적용가능하다.

It is getting more important that energy efficiency and manufacturing cost of the electric motor in appliance. The SRM has been alternative choice. But acoustic noise and harshness in this motor was widely known. So this paper had been studied on the noise reduction of a SRM in air conditioner. This works include some parameters regarding to blown noise sources like a reluctance torque ripple, air gap eccentricity, Especially, it was focused on dynamic characteristics of the system based on mechanical viewpoint. It came to successful results. Besides, this gave us a validity of phase excitation in experimental measurements.

This paper presents a design and characteristics analysis of novel 2-phase 4/3 switched reluctance motor (SRM) with short flux path for an air-blower application. The desired air-blower is unidirectional application, and requires a wide positive torque region without torque dead-zone. In order to get a wide positive torque region without torque dead-zone during phase commutation, asymmetric inductance characteristic with non-uniform air-gap is considered. The proposed motor could be started at any rotor position with high efficiency drive. The proposed 2-phase 4/3 SRM is verified by finite element method analysis.

The purpose of this paper was to propose a method for improving the performance of the open-loop control of single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (SP-PMSM), based on a square wave voltage injection. Generally, the SP-PMSM driving systems cmprise a full-bridge inverter and asymmetric air-gap structure of magnetic circuit, because a zero torque occurs on the symmetrical air-gap. As a result, it cannot be started at a specific rotor position. Thus, it is possible to cause the start-up failure at an open-loop control for sensorless operation of SP-PMSM. In this paper, the method with square wave voltage injection considering the nonlinearity of the inverter is presented to resolve the problem. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through several experiments.

A current sensor is one of important component which is used for the electrical current measurement during charge and discharge of the battery, and monitoring system of the motor controller in the electric and hybrid vehicle. In this study, we have developed an open loop type current sensor using GaAs Hall sensor and magnetic core has an air gap. The Hall sensor detect magnetic field produced by the current to be measured. The 3 mm air gap core was made by HGO electrical steel sheets after slitting, winding, annealing, molding, and cutting. Developed current sensor shows 0.03 % linearity within DC current range from -400 A to +400 A. Operating temperature range was extended to the range of $-40{\sim}105^{\circ}C$ using temperature compensating electronic circuit. To Improve frequency bandwidth limit due to the air flux of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and Hall sensor, We employed an air flux compensating loop near Hall sensor or on PCB. Frequency bandwidth of the sensor was 100 kHz when we applied sine wave current of $40A{\cdot}turn$ in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 100 kHz. For the dynamic response time measurement, 5 kHz square wave current of $40A{\cdot}turn$ was applied to the sensor. Response time was calculated time reach to 90 % of saturation value and smaller than $2{\mu}s$.

The shape of a iron bed supporting a permanent magnet in a large-sized motor is a important factor for determining the coupling strength with the yoke. In a large-sized motor, there is a difference in electromagnetic force with the yoke depending on the shape of the iron bed. In this paper, we show the differences and problems by calculating the electromagnetic force between the double bed and the single bed through the virtual air gap, and show that the single bed is superior in terms of the binding force. It is also shown that the binding force between the bed and the yoke is improved by carving the groove shape under the bed.

In this paper, to achieve the constant thrust force of the double side moving-magnet type LDM, the new armature winding of the LDM was proposed so as to restrain the saturation of the center yoke without increasing the mass of LDM. According to analyzing the magnetic flux distribution throughout the air-gap of the LDM, the magnet and winding width (1:0.84) was determined. The 2D finite element analysis was performed for force analysis on air-gap.
