A coreless printed circuit board(PCB) transformer is employed in a contactless energy transfer circuit that achieves an efficient power conversion at the presence of a considerable airgap between the source and the load side. A half-bridge series resonant converter is selected as the contactless energy transfer circuit in order to minimize the detrimental effects of large leakage inductance small magnetizing inductance and poor coupling coefficient of the coreless PCB transformer. The operation and performance of the proposed contactless power converter are verified on a 7 W experimental circuit that provides an 18V/0.4A output from a 210-370 V input source.

When the characteristics of a linear induction motor (LIM) are analyzed using finite element analysis (FEA), it is desirable to set the voltage source as an input. If the voltage source is set as an input in FEA, the leakage inductance and primary resistance of the equivalent circuit must be entered by direct calculation, and the magnetizing inductance and secondary reaction effects are directly considered in FEA. Exact calculation is necessary because the primary winding resistance and leakage inductance directly entered will have a significant effect on the LIM output. Therefore, in this study, we accurately calculated the primary leakage inductance and analyzed the resulting LIM characteristics. We calculated the leakage inductance using an analytical equation and FEA, and we confirmed the accuracy by comparing the results with the value experimentally calculated using a manufactured model. We also analyzed the instrument performance and thrust of the LIM as a function of the difference in the leakage inductance. Finally, we present the conclusions on the precise analysis based on the calculation of the leakage inductance.

For the purpose of designing an intrinsic safety Flyback converter with minimal output voltage ripple based on a specified output current, this paper first classified the energy transmission modes of the system into three sorts, namely, the Complete Inductor Supply Mode-CCM (CISM-CCM), the Incomplete Inductor Supply Mode-CCM (IISM-CCM) and the Incomplete Inductor Supply Mode-DCM (IISM-DCM). Then, the critical secondary self-inductance assorting the three modes are deduced and expressions of the output voltage ripples (OVR) are presented. For a Flyback converter with constant loads and switching frequency, it is shown that the output voltage ripple in the CISM-CCM is the smallest and that it has no relationship with the secondary self-inductance. Otherwise, the OVR of the other two modes are bigger than the previously mentioned one. It is concluded that the critical inductance between the CISM-CCM and the IISM-CCM is the minimal secondary self-inductance to ensure the smallest output voltage ripple. At last, a design method to guarantee the minimum OVR within the scales of the input voltage and load are analyzed, and the minimum secondary self-inductance is proposed to minimize the OVR. Simulations and experiments are given to verify the results.

The saturated winding inductances of a transformer are determined using the instantaneous magnetic saturation curve. The instantaneous curve is obtained from no load saturation curve in rms form by a direct piecewise linearized approach, then it is represented by a four-term ploynominal approximation. The saturated differential, effective and apparent winding inductances are computed from this curve, and these inductances are compared with the measured magnetizing inductance. The results show that the relation of $L_d<L_e<L_a$ exists and the computed apparent inductance is more close to the measured inductance.

Recently, although the power consumption of the flyback converter at the light load and standby power load was minimized by the burst mode operation of PWM IC, flyback converter has still the low efficiency characteristics by the high magnetizing current flowing through magnetizing inductance of transformer. This paper proposes a novel flyback converter with an improved efficiency characteristics and the reduced magnetizing current at the light load and standby power load. Prototype of the 70W multi-output flyback converter for an auxiliary power module of 50 inch PDP TV is built and the experimental results are described.

In this paper, a power loss analysis technique of a high-frequency transformer of a bidirectional DAB (Dual Active Bridge) converter is reported. To miniaturize the transformer of the dual active bridge converter, a resonant inductor was designed with an air gap included low-coupled rate state core to combine leakage inductor with the resonant inductor which is required for soft-switching. In this paper, leakage inductance and magnetizing inductance, core material, type of winding and winding method are included in the dual active bridge transformer loss analysis process to enable optimal design at the initial design stage. Transformer loss analysis for dual active bridge with a switching frequency of 200 kHz and maximum output of 5 kW was executed, and elements necessary for design based on the number of turns on the primary side were graphed while maintaining the transformer turns ratio and window area. In particular, it was possible to determine the optimal number of turns and thickness of the transformer, and ultimately, the total loss of the transformer could be estimated.

This paper presents a position sensorless control system of SRM over wide speed range. Due to the doubly salient structure of the SRM, the phase inductance varies along with the rotor position. Most of the sensorless control techniques are based on the fact that the magnetic status of the SRM is a function of the angular rotor position. The rotor position estimation of the SRM is somewhat difficult because of its highly nonlinear magnetizing characteristics. In order to estimate more accurate rotor position over wide speed range, Neural Network is used for this highly nonlinear function approximation. Magnetizing data patterns of the prototype 1-hp SRM are obtained from locked rotor test, and used for the Neural Network training data set. Through measurement of the flux-linkage and phase currents, rotor position is able to estimate from current-flux-rotor position lookup table which is constructed from trained Neural Network. Experimental results for a 1-hp SRM over 16:1 speed range are presented for the verification of the proposed sensorless control algorithm.

In this paper we further propose to add a very simple regenerative clamping circuit to SSIPP to reduce the voltage stress and to recycle the energy trapped in the leakage inductance of the isolation transformer, thus eliminating the need for a lossy snubber circuit. In addition, this proposed clamping circuit also provides a mechanism to reset the magnetizing current of the output transformer of SSIPP employing a Forward converter as the output stage. Simulations and experimental results are reported to verify the operation and performance of the SSIPP with regenerative clamping.

Non-contact power supply (NCPS), as a clean and safe energy supply concept has been applying wildly. Comparing with the conventional transformer the non-contact transformer has a large air gap between the long primary winding and the secondary winding. Due to it, the non-contact transformer has increased leakage inductance and reduced magnetizing inductance. So the high frequency series resonant converter has been widly used on the non-contact power supply system for transferring the primary power to the secondary one, from what a high influence voltage can be gained on the secondry coil even though the large air gap exists. However, it still has the disadvantages of the load sensitive voltage gain characteristics when load is changing. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic controller to adjust the frequency of the inverter to track the resonat which is changing when the load is change.
