Analytical Determination of the Phase Inductances of a Brushless DC Motor With Faulhaber Winding

Yves Perriard, Patrick Ragot, Miroslav Markovic

This paper presents a method to analytically model the self and mutual phase inductances of a brushless dc motor with a Faulhaber winding. The method of images is used to “remove” the motor iron parts in the model in order to analyze the winding completely ...

The Impact of inverter dead time on performance of n-motor drives supplied from (2n+1)-leg VSI

Drazen Dujic

Industrial applications often require two or more variable-speed electric drives, which have to be controlled independently. Over the past decade research efforts have been made to reduce the number of power electronic devices required in multi-motor drive ...

Method for recovering silicon from sawing waste

Patrik Willi Hoffmann

A method for separating and recovering silicon debris from sawing waste is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: - treating the sawing waste so as to deoxidize the silicon debris in a manner that reduces their surface energy, - applying t ...

A two-motor centre-driven winder drive with a reduced switch count

Drazen Dujic

Industrial applications often require two (or more) variable speed electric drives, which have to be controlled independently. An example is a centre-driven two-motor winder, where ac machines are traditionally supplied from their individual three-phase vo ...

Five-leg inverter PWM technique for reduced switch count two-motor constant power applications

Drazen Dujic

Industrial applications often require a number of variable speed electric drives. In the majority of cases, these multi-motor drive systems require independent control of individual motors. Over the past decade, research efforts have been made to reduce th ...

Prediction of the adhesive fillet size for skin to honeycomb core bonding in ultra-light sandwich structures

Yves Leterrier, Julien Rion

The formation of resin fillet between honeycomb core cell walls and skin in light sandwich structures was studied to gain a better understanding of the bonding process. A method was developed for tailoring the amount of adhesive between 8 and 80 g/m2. The ...

Recent research has shown that it is possible to independently control two three-phase induction machines while supplying them via a single five-leg voltage source inverter (VSI). In such a two-motor drive system one phase of each motor is connected to a c ...

A Five-Phase Two-Motor Centre-Driven Winder with Series-Connected Motors

Drazen Dujic

Application of power electronics in variable speed electric drives enables utilization of ac machines with a phase number higher than three. It then becomes possible to use the additional degrees of freedom, available in multi-phase systems, to control oth ...

Analysis of hysteresis losses in synchronous permanent magnet motors

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Pierre-Daniel Pfister

The paper presents a method to determine hysteresis losses in synchronous permanent magnet (PM) motors. The method comprises four steps: (1) experimental determination of the B-H loop, (2) analytical modeling of the B-H loop by applying different models, ( ...
