This paper describes the performance analysis and design of 1-phase self-excited induction generators. The minimum parallel capacitance of self-excited capacitor connected auxiliary winding and the series capacitance of regulating voltage capacitor connected main winding is proposed the suitable value using circuit equations of main and auxiliary winding. For the steady state analysis, the equivalent circuit of 1-phase induction generators is used as circuit modeling using the double-revolving field theory. The validity of designed generator system will be confirmed by experimental and computed results.

This paper proposes a boost-input self-driven active clamp ZVS converter eliminating the extra dirve circuit for the active clamp switch. The converter used the auxiliary winding of the transformer to drive the active clamp switch and to achieve asymmetrical duty control. This paper presents the operation principle and the analyzed results of dynamic characteristics including steady state characteristics of the converter proposed. The experimental results were used to verify the theoretical predictions. A 300W (15V/20A) prototype converter that only exhibited 2-turn winding number in the auxiliary winding was sufficient to drive the active clamp switch on the input voltage of 80V. Finally, the maximum efficiency of 91.2% was achieved for the prototype converter and the proposed converter had stable closed loop characteristic with phase margin $55^{\circ}$.

In this paper, a high frequency flyback type zero voltage soft switching PWM DC-DC converter using IGBTs is proposed. Effective applications for this power converter can be found in auxiliary power supplies of rolling stock transportation and electric vehicles. This power converter is basically composed of active power switches and a flyback high frequency transformer. In addition to these, passive lossless snubbers with power regeneration loops for energy recovery, consisting of a three winding auxiliary high frequency transformer, auxiliary capacitors and diodes are introduced to achieve zero voltage soft switching from light to full load conditions. Furthermore, this power converter has some advantages such as low cost circuit configuration, simple control scheme and high efficiency. Its operating principle is described and to determine circuit parameters, some practical design considerations are discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed power converter is evaluated and compared with the hard switching PWM DC-DC converter from an experimental point of view and the comparative electromagnetic conduction and radiation noise characteristics of both DC-DC power converter circuits are also depicted.

This paper presents a single-switch buck converter with a ripple-free inductor current. In the proposed converter, the filter inductor current ripple is completely removed by utilizing an auxiliary circuit consisting of an additional winding of the filter inductor, an auxiliary inductor, and an auxiliary capacitor. Moreover, the ripple-free current characteristic is maintained under both light load and full load conditions. The theoretical analysis and performance of the proposed converter were verified with a 110W experimental prototype operating at a 107 kHz switching frequency.

A single-phase induction motor with it's stator winding splitted into two series windings, of which the terminals of one winding is switched pulsationally by a thyristor type ON-OFF device so that the motor may operate as a pulsational shaded-pole motor, can modulate current waveforms of it's two series windings. In view of current waveform modulation method, a single-phase single-winding motor operates as a two-phase induction motor with asymmetrical axis windings where the starting torque can be obtained effectively without an auxiliary capacitor attached and it's running speed controlled by shifting phase between current waveforms differently. Equivalent circuit for analysis is modified from a double revolving field equivalent circuit of a single-phase induction motor with asymmetrical windings whose angle is 45.deg.C elet. degrees. Analysis and test results show that ON-OFF action of the pulsational shaded-pole winding has the same effect of a series capacitor, and then at heavy loads this motor operates with a small amonut of the input current than that having the fixed shaded-pole winding.

The single-Phase induction motor is widely used in many light duty applications. especially in home and the office. At present, many applications which use these motor require continuously adjustable speed control. In the general, the speed control of single-phase induction motor is accomplished at a few discrete speeds by using tapped-windings, pole switching or gear. These techniques is inefficient and complicated. In this paper, auxiliary winding voltage phase angle of single-phase induction motor is used to continuously adjust electromagnetic torque. The analysis includes the determination of the relationship between the auauxiliary winding voltage phase angle and torque. Simulation results of the motor's torque-speed characteristics using the controlled auxiliary winding supply are shown and discussed. The drive is tested using a dynamometer to experimentally verify the results of the theory and simulations.

This paper presents a speed control method for the capacitor-run induction motor. The equivalent circuit of the motor is analyzed using the forward(Positive sequence) and backward(negative sequence) components, and simple circuit equations are obtained. Simulations for the speed control are performed by adjusting the voltage magnitude of the auxiliary winding. A prototype system has been implemented which consists of an inverter and a controller with TMS320C31 digital signal processor. The experimental results using 1/4hp capacitor-run induction motor show a good agreement with analyses.

The most common method of the single phase induction motor(SPIM) is to install a starting condenser and a centrifugal switch in series with the auxiliary winding. Even though this capacitor start method is embodied simply, it is feasible because of motor failure from malfunction of the centrifugal switch and the starting condenser. Moreover, it is hard to improve the performance characteristics of the SPIM. In this paper, the voltage and phase angle sequence, control strategy of the auxiliary winding of the SFIM is employed to eliminate the centrifugal switch and the starting condenser. The proposed control system is superior to a conventional system in the starting performance of SPIM. Finally, the improved starting characteristics of the SPIM is obtained with this strategy through simulation and experimental results.

The most common for starting a single phase induction motor is to install a starting condenser and a centrifugal switch in series with the auxiliary winding. Though this method is simple, life of single phase induction motor is short because of malfunction of a starting condenser and a centrifugal switch and efficiency improvement has limitation. In this paper, the starting characteristics of SPIM is improved by sequence voltage control strategy of auxiliary winding in removing a starting condenser and a centrifugal switch. Finally, the excellent starting performance of SPIM is shown through simulation and experimental results.

The analytical reason of the current unbalance is investigated and the operation principle of the proposed method and APWM control loop are explained. The performance of the proposed method was verified on a 480-W, 400-V/24-V dc/dc converter.
