An induction watthour meter was designed for use on circuits in which the voltage and current are essentially sinusoidal. As the application of switching devices has been increased, the waveforms of voltage and current have involved the harmonics. Therefore, power energy involving voltage and current with the harmonics is supplied to the system and the registration error of watthour meter is existed. In this paper, we experimented on the error of watthour mesurement under the sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal input source.

In this paper the multiple three rectifiers for the power factor correction are proposed, analyzed and designed. The multiple three phase rectifiers draw sinusoidal ac currents from the ac voltage sources with nearly unity input power factor and operate with PWM making the control circuit simple and system cost low. Outstandingly it reduces the rated power capacity of devices and the input filter size by reducing input current ripples. Moreover design rules can be obtained from input and output current equations. With the proposed rules, input power factor and output power capacity are determined approximately. Finally these design rules are verified with computer simulations.

This paper proposes a harmonics reduction technique for the input currents of three phase PWM converters. The quality of the phase angle information on the utility voltage connected to the PWM converters affects their control performance. Under a distorted utility voltage, the extracted phase angle based on the synchronous reference frame PLL method is distorted. This causes large harmonics in the input currents of a PWM converter. In this paper, a harmonics reduction method that makes the input currents in the PWM converter sinusoidal even under distorted utility conditions is proposed. By the proposed method, without additional hardware, the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the input currents can be readily limited to below 5% which is the harmonic current requirements of IEEE std. 519. Its validity is verified by simulations and experimental results.

This paper is studied on a novel power factor correction (PFC) AC-DC converter of high efficiency by soft switching technique. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form composed of many a discontinuous pulse in proportion to the magnitude of a ac input voltage under the constant switching frequency. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. The proposed converter adding an electric isolation operates with a discontinuous current mode (DCM) of the reactor in order to obtain some merits of simpler control, such as fixed switching frequency, without synchronization control circuit used in continuous current mode (CCM). To achieve the soft switching (ZCS or ZVS) of control devices, the converter is constructed with a new loss-less snubber for a partial resonant circuit. It is that the switching losses are very low and the efficiency of the converter is high, Particularly, the stored energy in a loss-less snubber capacitor recovers into input side and increases input current from a resonant operation. The result is that the input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. This paper deals mainly with the circuit operations, theoretical, simulated and experimental results of the proposed PFC AC-DC converter in comparison with a conventional PFC AC-DC converter.

This paper presents a method, which finds the current distribution and input impedance at the arbitrary feeding point of bended linear antenna in arbitrary shape in accordance with the MOMENT method. Practically the method of analysis is applied to the sinusoidal-shaped antenna, and the results of the calculation of current distribution and input impedance consist with the theoretical values. The method can be extensively used for the analysis of any of type antenna problems.

A sensorless input current controller for three phase PWM converter is proposed. A merit of this controller is that sinusoidal input line current, unity power factor, and ripple-free DC voltage can be achieved with low-cost. The paper describes the proposed control strategy and its implementation. Simulation result for the proposed controller is compared with that of the sensor based version.

This paper describes the voltage type PWM converter. Input AC current is to be sinusoidal and AC input voltage is determined by controlling the phase of the source and converter properly. By corresponding the phase of input voltage to that of base current, DC constant voltage Is to be output with high power factor driving. Also it is possible to be leading or lagging power factor driving. Optimum driving is performed by controlling the current instantaneously in the steady state or transient state.

When the input current wave forms of Linear Pulse Motor(LPM) is excited as three difference type such as the square, the rectangular and the micro sinusoidal wave, this paper is proposed the calculation of thrust on the base of magnetic equivalent circuit of LPM. The thrust is analyzed and compared by the analytical method, the F.E.M. and the experimental values. Also, to decide the input current wave for optimal operation condition, the vibration of LPM is experimented and estimated.

This paper proposes a novel PWM technique for a three phase current fad type converters. A minor loop compensation method is introduced to compensate leading current and to minimize input line current (Iu) distortion resulting from the resonance between AC filter capacitor and source inductance of power system. This PWM converter has excellent characterics as next. The control system is simply designed, and the operation with unity power factor can be easily obtained by automatic compensating the leading current of the filter circuit. Also. the three phase sinusoidal input current can be obtained.

New digital feedback algorithm was developed to measure iron loss of soft magnetic materials under a condition of sinusoidal flux waveform. $V_{in}$(B) curve was used instead of H(B) curve to decide next input waveform in the feedback module so that adjusting phases of current waveform, flux waveform, and input waveform could be removed. The effectiveness of the developed algorithm was verified when iron loss of ferrite cores was measured under frequencies of 1 and 10 kHz.
