The paper presents analytical studies of the torque motor tape active element. The tape active element is a novel type of a motor's stator organization, where the conventional winding is replaced by a tape winding. Given the operation principle of proposed active element; its torque characteristics are then computationally found with using the finite element method (FEM). The results show the p...

This paper presents the performance computation of three-phase 6/4 poles Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with amorphous alloy core using transient Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in which the magnetic field is combined with a driving circuit. In order to minimize torque ripple in SRM, this paper proposes not only optimal combination of stator pole arc and rotor pole arc but also the turn-on and t...

The area of multiphase variable-speed motor drives in general and multiphase induction Motor drives in particular have experienced a substantial growth since the beginning of this century. Research has been conducted worldwide and numerous interesting developments have been reported in the literature. An attempt is made to provide a detailed overview of the current state-ofthe-art in this area....

This paper presents an original non-invasive procedure for the diagnosis of electromagnetic devices, as well as AC electrical rotating machines using two external flux coil sensors that measure the external magnetic field in the machines' vicinity. The diagnosis exploits the signal delivered by the two sensors placed in particular positions. Contrary to classical methods using only one sensor, ...

This paper presents a method based on neural networks to detect broken rotor bars and end rings in squirrel cage induction motors. In the first part, detection methods are reviewed and traditional methods of fault detection as well as dynamic&#10model of induction motors are introduced using the winding function method. In this method, all stator and rotor bars are considered independently in o...

A method of induction motor diagnostics based on the analysis of three-phase instantaneous power spectra has been offered. Its implementation requires recalculation of induction motor voltages, aiming at exclusion from induction motor instantaneous three-phase power signal the component caused by supply mains dissymmetry and unsinusoidality. The recalculation is made according to the motor know...

Torsional vibrations and resonance problems with synchronous machines are most frequently encountered in rotor systems with long shafts and large inertias constituting a weakly damped mechanical resonator which exhibits a low resonance frequency. It is impossible to obtain a effective mechanical damping for these torsional vibrations, but by using a power electronics device and an inductive or ...
