In high power converter design, low-inductance busbar connecting DC capacitors and power devices is the main concern to improve the quality of the whole power electronics system. This paper analyzes the impact of layernumber on the stray inductance of busbar taking a subway traction converter as example. The method of partial element equivalent circuit and the Q3D software are used to extract t...

Electric circuit analysis determines the voltage and current distribution in an electric circuit due to applied source voltages or currents. In a static (DC) electric circuit analysis, the voltage and current distribution in an electric circuit is determined that is subjected to applied DC source voltages or currents. In a harmonic (AC) electric circuit analysis, the voltage and current distrib...

electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. the critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...

In this paper, the effect of ocean-land mixed propagation path on the lightning performance of grounding rods is investigated. This effect is focused on two problems. The first is extracting exact equivalent circuit of grounding rods in the presence of oceans. The equivalent circuit can be used in transient analysis of power systems in the neighboring oceans. In the second one, this effect on t...

All the evaluation techniques used to characterize the dielectric properties of materials have similar procedures. The “unknown” material is introduced in a cavity which is considered as a transmission line in order to characterize it measuring insertion looses when an electromagnetic wave passes through it with and without the “unknown” material. The results obtained are analyzed using several...

We use first-principles quantum mechanics to simulate the transient electrical response through carbon nanotube-based conductors under time-dependent bias voltages. The dynamic admittance and time-dependent charge distribution are reported and analyzed. We find that the electrical response of these two-terminal molecular devices can be mapped onto an equivalent classical electric circuit and th...
