The characteristics of the stator current and torque of a small three- phase squirrel cage induction motor and studied experimentally under the situation of a single-phase operation due to various causes. Through the experiments, the torque-slip and current-slip curve of single-phase circuit as well as three-phase circuit are obtained and the needed constants are determined. The stator current and torque are calculated by the current and torque equations derived by the unbalanced circuit theory. The numerical values obtained from the above methods are compared with the experimental values under the same conditions. The results of the study are summerized as follow; 1) The values computed by the unbalanced circuit theory generally come to approach the values recorded through experiments. 2) Near the rated load, speed drop is less than 1.2 per cent of the speed of three-phase induction motor and torque reduces less than 3 per cent of it of three-phase induction motor when three-phase induction motor is run under a single-phase. On the other hand, the stator current in a single-phase circuit is more than 1.9 times of it in three-phase circuit. 3) The stalling torque in a single-phase circuit is reduced to about 41 per cent of it in three-phase circuit while the corresponding slip is moved toward the synchroneous speed and the corresponding stator current is increased.

This paper addresses the application of motor current spectral analysis for the detection of rolling-element bearing damage in induction machines. We set the experimental test bed. They is composed of the normal condition bearing system, the abnormal rolling-element bearing system of 2 type induction motors with shaft deflection system by external force and a hole drilled through the outer race of the shaft end bearing of the four pole test motor. We have developed the embedded distributed fault tolerant and fault diagnosis system for industrial motor. These mechanisms are based on two 32-bit DSPs and each TMS320F2407 DSP module is checking stator current The effects on the stator current spectrum are described and related frequencies are also determined. This is an important result in the formulation of a fault detection scheme that monitors the stator currents. We utilized the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform), Wavelet analysis and averaging signal pattern by inner product tool to analyze stator current components. Especially, the analyzed results by inner product clearly illustrate that the stator signature analysis can be used to identify the presence of a bearing fault.

The conventional model predictive direct torque control (MPDTC) method uses all of the voltage vectors available from a two level voltage source inverter for the prediction of the stator flux and stator current, which leads to a heavy computational burden. This paper proposes an improved model predictive direct torque control method. The stator flux predictive controller is obtained from an analysis of the relationship between the stator flux and the torque, which can be used to calculate the desired voltage vector based on the stator flux and torque reference. Then this method only needs to evaluate three voltage vectors in the sector of the desired voltage vector. As a result, the computational burden of the conventional MPDTC is effectively reduced. The time delay introduced by the computational time causes the stator current to oscillate around its reference. It also increases the current and torque ripples. To address this problem, a delay compensation method is adopted in this paper. Furthermore, the switching frequency of the inverter is significantly reduced by introducing the constraint of the power semiconductor switching number to the cost function of the MPDTC. Both simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper presents a current sensorless maximum torque control of a synchronous reluctance motor drive. Stator current and current angle vs. maximum torque are obtained using measured d-axis and q-axis inductances. Then, d and q-axis stator voltage references for current sensorless maximum torque control are calculated from stator voltage equations. The proposed method is verified by simulation results comparing with conventional method.

This paper describes the two control techniques to perform the sensorless vector control of a PMSM by injecting the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal. The first technique is the estimation algorithm of the initial rotor position. A PMSM possesses the saliency which produces the ellipse of the stator current when the high frequency voltage is injected into the motor terminal. The major axis angle of the current ellipse gives the rotor position information at a standstill. The second control technique is a sensorless control algorithm that injects the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal in order to estimate the rotor position and speed. The rotor position and speed for sensorless vector control is calculated by appropriate signal processing to extract the position information from the stator current at low speeds or standstill. The proposed sensorless algorithm using the double-band hysteresis controller exhibits excellent reference tracking and increased robustness. Experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed control schemes. Speed, position estimation and vector control were carried out on the floating point processor TMS320VC33.

The ELectromagnetic Core Imperfection Detector (EL-CID) test was performed on a small generator in the laboratory and a gas turbine generator in the field to assess the fault condition of generator stator core. Artificial defects with six different sizes were introduced in the small generator. The scan results on six defects show a very large increase in the magnitude of fault current compared to that obtained with a healthy core. After the stator core heats up, a thermal imaging camera was used to detect hot spot on the inner surface of the core for comparison. Several faults were found during inspection of the gas turbine generator with the EL-CID. It has been shown that the existence of a fault can be determined by monitoring the magnitude of fault current.

The loss is most important problems for the practical applications of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). In this paper, rotor sleeve and stator shape design of high speed permanent magnet motor for loss reduction. First, this paper found optimum sleeve thickness for calculation eddy current loss on the basis of analytical method, because eddy current is influenced by conductivity of material and area. Then, stator shape design is changed as maintain same slot area for reducing stator core loss. Finally, this paper compared analytical result with optimum sleeve thickness obtained from finite element(FE) method, and stator core loss is calculated from FE method.

The diagnosis technique of stator winding faults based on Motor Current Signature Analysis(MCSA) was suggested. Park's vector pattern, the circle that is drawn by d-q transformed currents($i_d$, $i_q$), is widely used for stator winding faults detection. The current Distortion Ratio(DR), defined by the ratio of max axis and min axis of ellipse of Park's vector's pattern, was more simple and powerful method than the Park's vector pattern. In this study, a calculation method of distortion ratio of Park's vector pattern was suggested for auto diagnosis of stator winding short fault and usefulness of suggested calculation method of distortion ratio was verified through simulation using LabVIEW program.

The Theory of operation of switched reluctance motors (SRM) depends on the reluctance torque, where energy is transferred to stator winding only. Although its construction is simple, the electrical design is complex, due to the switching configuration needed to deliver power to stator coils. However, because of the nonlinearly of magnetic circuit, SRM has torque ripple. This paper proposes a new strategy to drive SRM from a single-phase AC supply. Each stator winding is connected to AC-DC or AC-AC converters, which is called branch. All branches are connected in parallel to a single-phase AC supply. A shaft encoder allows current production in stator winding during the positive torque production region and terminates it during the negative torque production region. A magnetic flux is produced between stator poles when current is supplied from AC supply to stator coil and repeats many cycles as long as the rate of change of stator inductance is positive. Different possibilities for the configurations of AC-AC or AC-DC converters are introduced to drive SRM from the single-phase AC supply. A case study is presented for a SRM fed from AC supply through semi-controlled AC-DC converter is presented. A simulation model is introduced and verified by experimental rig for two-phase SRM.
