The speed variation of SRM is fulfilled throughout a transition from chopping control to single pulse operation. (i,e., low speed to high speed operation). It is unsatisfied with performance at all operational regimes. In this paper, the operational performance of SRM can be improved by using current hysteresis control method. This method maintains a generally flat current waveform. At the high speed, the current chopping capability is lost due to the development of the back-EMF. Therefore SRM operates in single pulse mode. By using zero-current switching and zero-voltage switching technique, the stress of power switches can be reduce in chopping mode. When the commutation from one phase winding to another phase winding, the current can be zero as fast as possible in this period because several times negative voltage of DC-source voltage produce in phase winding. This paper is compared to performance based on conventional C-dump converter topology and the proposed resonant C-dump converter topology. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed circuit.

BLDCM(Brushless D.C. Motor) is widely used industrial application because of high efficiency and high power density. Especially, In servo system and home appliance, BLDCM is very useful due to high control performance and low acoustic noise. In this paper, 2.5HP rated BLDCM controller and drive was developed for tread mill application. The prototype BLDCM has 4 poles rotor and 24 slots stator. Ferrite was used as a rotor magnet due to the cost and temperature characteristic. For the stable operation of tread mill, over current and high temperature can be detected by the DSP control1er. For the commutation signal, switching patterns from the sensorless circuit and hall sensor signal are used in the DSP controller.

This paper presents a new and simple method for sensorless operation of matrix converter drives using a constant air-gap flux and the imaginary power flowing to the motor. To improve low-speed sensorless performance, the non-linearities of a matrix converter drive such as commutation delays, turn-on and turn-off times of switching devices, and on-state switching device voltage drop are modeled using PQR transformation and compensated using a reference current control scheme. The proposed compensation method is applied for high performance induction motor drives using a 3 kW matrix converter system. Experimental results are shown to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy.

A new soft switched active snubber circuit is proposed to achieve zero voltage and zero current switching for all the switching devices in PWM DC-DC converters. The unique location of the snubber and inductor ensures low current/voltage stresses and commutation losses. With a saturable reactor, the conduction loss of auxiliary switch could be further minimized. A boost converter adopting this technique is presented as an example, to illuminate its operation principles and derive the design procedures. Simulation and hardware implementation have been made to validate its performance. Some other basic PWM DC-DC topologies using the proposed snubber have also been given.

DC servo motors have a defect that they need a periodical maintenance because of a brush commutation and also they have a difficulty at high speed operation. In this reason, the use of AC Servo motors are increasing these days. In this paper, a proposed neuro observer is applied to speed control of AC servo motor. The proposed observer complement a problem that occur from increase of gain of High-gain observer in proportion to the square number of observable state variables. And also, the proposed observer can tune the gain obtained by differentiating observational error automatically by using the backpropagation training method to stabilize the observational speed. The excellence and feasibility of the proposed observer is proved by making a comparison test between the proposed observer and the others applied to the same AC servo motor.

In this study, an algorithm for diagnosis of dc motor with winding open fault is suggested. A dc motor used in this paper, is consisted of a permanent magnet field stator, double 16-turn series winding rotating armature with 12-slot, brush and 12-commutator, etc. A current signal of dc motor which has brushes and commutatorswas considered for fault diagnosis. By commutation, this current signal shows different wave form according to the fault condition of the motor. In this study, operation of the data was easily through simplification of the current signal by the signal processing. Computation method is presented reference value($C_{dv}$) for diagnosis of winding open fault and verified through experiments that can be diagnosed using the reference value($C_{dv}$).

This paper proposes a control technique to obtain high frequency quasi sinusoidal DC-Link waveform permitting zero-voltage-switching(ZVS). This operation results in reduction of commutation stress and switching losses in the power devices because they cause no switching loss in principle. But in existing control methods, the resonant capacitor voltage is not frequently made of zero-cross oscillation. We propose an optimum control stratege which can sustain oscillation and keep the capacitor voltage at an allowable level. Some experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

A novel 3$\phi$ ZVS PWM VSI topology employing a simple dc bus subcircuit that provides soft switching commutations is proposed in this paper. The main advantage of the proposed inverter commutation schem is that the dc bus subcircuit is activated only when required, that is, when dictated by the respective PWM. Detailed analysis is provided and simmulation results are presented to verify the principles of operation of the proposed inverter schem.

This paper presents a lossless inductor snubber-assisted series resonant high frequency inverter using the trench gate IGBTs for the electromagnetic induction eddy current-heated fixing roller in copy and printing machines in a new generation. This soft switching high-frequency inverter can completely achieve zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation mode transitions and wide power regulation under its constant frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) scheme. Its transient and steady state operating principle is originally presented for a constant frequency PDM strategy under a ZCS operation, together with its output power regulation characteristics-based on the pulse density modulation. The effectiveness of this soft switching high-frequency inverter is confirmed for the fixing equipment with the induction-heated fixing roller.

This paper presents a position sensorless control system of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) using neural network. The control of SRM depends on the commutation of the stator phases in synchronism with the rotor position. The position sensing requirement increases the overall cost and complexity. In this paper, the current-flux-rotor position lookup table based position sensorless operation of SRM is presented. Neural network is used to construct the current-flux-rotor position lookup table, and is trained by sufficient experimental data. Experimental results for a 1-hp SRM is presented for the verification of the proposed sensorless algorithm.
