A linear permanent-magnet vernier (LPMV) motor has magnets and windings in the short mover, which is very suitable for long stroke applications. This paper proposed a new field oriented control with space vector pulse width modulation for the LPMV motor, which considers loss minimization. First, the topology of the LPMV motor is briefly presented. Then, the mathematical model is derived, and the mover field oriented control strategy is proposed. Also, the loss analysis is performed. Finally, the simulated and experimental results are given, verifying the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

This paper deals with design consideration and validation of a new pole-slot combination for permanent magnet vernier machine (PMVM) with consequent pole (CP) rotor especially for extremely low speed servo applications. A 136pole-24slot PMVM with CP rotor is introduced and analyzed by 2D and 3D finite element analysis (FEA) and discussion on experimental validation is also included.

In this paper, the authors designed a surface permanent magnet (SPM)-type vernier motor whose maximum output is more than 5.2 kW, whose power factor at 4 kW is more than 90%, and whose efficiency at 4 kW is 85% under the conditions that the operating voltage, frequency, and synchronous speed are 400 V, 50 Hz, and 100 min-1, respectively.

Surface permanent magnet-type vernier motors with three magnet array-type rotors (parallel magnetized type, repulsion type, and Halbach type) are compared based on the pull-out torque. It was clarified that increasing the rotor radius increases the pull-out torque at a fixed three-phase alternating voltage. The mechanism for the pull-out torque increase on each magnet array type was different, when the effects of the increase were analyzed based on an induced electromotive force and a synchronous reactance. As a result, the design of the Halbach-type rotor was found to be especially effective for achieving high pull-out torque, because this array type achieves a large induced electromotive force $E_0$ and a small synchronous reactance $x_s$.

Earth brush for electrical multiple units(EMUs) is a device through which the current of the EMU load's consumed power fed from the DC 1,500V overhead line (or from the AC 25.000V catenary) flows via axle to the rail(ground) and which prevents the electric corrosion of the axle bearings by preventing the current flow to the axle bearings caused by electric potential from the magnetic field when the bearings rotate together with the earthing function when a thunderbolt falls or a surge comes. The earth brush wear rates among cars, however, shows quite differences when the earth brushes after being separated from the holders are measured with vernier callipers every 6 months of maintenance period. Main causes of the earth brush wear are divided as mechanical, electric arc and electrical one, and the factors can be running speed, current, harmonics, connection state. spring tension, earth brush material, lubricant and so on. but only the earth brushes of the motor(M1) car show the highest wear rate and moreover maintenance difficulty occurs because of the wear rate differences among e earth brushes in one holder. The reason for these preponderant wear comes from the design concept of making preponderant current flow to some particular earth brushes and moreover the heat generated by the harmonics when the inverter starts to operate accelerate the wear. By defining these causes through experiments. I hope that the found results would be helpful for the future EMU design, safety, economy and maintenance.
