A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE OF THE NASA Unclas RELIABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY STEERING COMMITTEE (NASA) 105 p H1/38 0060399 | w = J J Ira! J] ii U mmm mini mJ r - w J _J W IL u h_ PREFACE Current and future NASA programs face the challenge of achieving a high degree of mission success with a minimum degree of technical risk. Although technical risk has several . , w elements, such as safety, reliability, and performance, a proven track record of overall system effectiveness ultimately will be the NASA benchmark. This will foster the accomplishment of r mission objectives within cost and schedule expectations without compromising safety or w program risk. A key CharaCteristic of systems effeci_veness is the impiementation of appropriate levels of maintainability throughout the program life cycle. Maintainability is a process for assuring the ease by which a system can be restored to operation following a failure. It is an essential consideration for any program requiring ground n and/or on-orbit maintenance. TheiOffice of S_._ty"and Mission Assurance (OSMA) has undertaken a continuous improvement initiative to develop a technical roadmap that will provide a path toward achieving the desired degree of maintainability while realizing cost and schedule benefits. Although early life cycle costs are a characteristic of any assurance program, operational cost savings and improved system availability almost always result from __° a properlY administered maintainability assurance program.

The positive charges are held in place in the conductor by the action of interatomic forces, but the free electrons, usually one or two per atom, are caused to drift to one side of the conductor, thus setting up an electric field E within the conductor which opposes the further drift of electrons. The magnitude of this electric field E may be calculated by equating the force it exerts on a charge q, to the force on this charge due to its motion through the magnetic field of induction B; thus Eq = Bqv, from which E = Bv.

  • Design of a Rail Gun System for Mitigating Disruptions in Fusion Reactors
    © Copyright 2017 Wei-Siang Lay Design of a Rail Gun System for Mitigating Disruptions in Fusion Reactors Wei-Siang Lay A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Thomas R. Jarboe, Chair Roger Raman, Thesis Advisor Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Aeronautics & Astronautics University of Washington Abstract Design of a Rail Gun System for Mitigating Disruptions in Fusion Reactors Wei-Siang Lay Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Thomas R. Jarboe Aeronautics & Astronautics Magnetic fusion devices, such as the tokamak, that carry a large amount of current to generate the plasma confining magnetic fields have the potential to lose magnetic stability control. This can lead to a major plasma disruption, which can cause most of the stored plasma energy to be lost to localized regions on the walls, causing severe damage. This is the most important issue for the $20B ITER device (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) that is under construction in France. By injecting radiative materials deep into the plasma, the plasma energy could be dispersed more evenly on the vessel surface thus mitigating the harmful consequences of a disruption. Methods currently planned for ITER rely on the slow expansion of gases to propel the radiative payloads, and they also need to be located far away from the reactor vessel, which further slows down the response time of the system. Rail guns are being developed for aerospace applications, such as for mass transfer from the surface of the moon and asteroids to low earth orbit. A miniatured version of this aerospace technology seems to be particularly well suited to meet the fast time response needs of an ITER disruption mitigation system.

  • Excitation Systems
    Excitation Systems 10 kVA - 35 MVA alternators REGULATORS AND EXCITATION SYSTEMS ARE AT THE HEART OF INDUSTRIAL ALTERNATORS PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY. At Leroy-Somer, we design, test and qualify our electronic products to meet the challenges of power generation systems. Using our experience and field expertise, we provide regulation features that help protect installations from outage and failures, and our excitation systems are optimized to provide the best performance levels for any situation. EXCITATION SYSTEMS Leroy-Somer offers different excitation systems to match application requirements. An excitation system uses the alternator output to build an excitation current that is then used to power the rotating magnetic field of the rotor. This principle allows for the control of the output power. To build excitation current, a regulator needs both a supply voltage to provide power, and a measured reference voltage at output terminals to pilot the excitation.

  • DC Motor, How It Works?
    DC Motor, how it works? You can find DC motors in many portable home appliances, automobiles and types of industrial equipment. In this video we will logically understand the operation and construction of a commercial DC motor. The Working Let’s first start with the simplest DC motor possible. It looks like as shown in the Fig.1. The stator is a permanent magnet and provides a constant magnetic field. The armature, which is the rotating part, is a simple coil. Fig.1 A simplified D.C motor, which runs with permanent magnet The armature is connected to a DC power source through a pair of commutator rings. When the current flows through the coil an electromagnetic force is induced on it according to the Lorentz law, so the coil will start to rotate. The force induced due to the electromagnetic induction is shown using 'red arrows' in the Fig.2. Fig.2 The electromagnetic force induced on the coils make the armature coil rotate You will notice that as the coil rotates, the commutator rings connect with the power source of opposite polarity. As a result, on the left side of the coil the electricity will always flow ‘away ‘and on the right side , electricity will always flow ‘towards ‘. This ensures that the torque action is also in the same direction throughout the motion, so the coil will continue rotating. Fig.3 The commutator rings make sure a uni-directional current flows through the left and right part of the coil Improving the Torque action But if you observe the torque action on the coil closely, you will notice that, when the coil is nearly perpendicular to the magnetic flux, the torque action nears zero.

  • Basics of DC Motors
    You’ve got a DC (direct current) motor down and you need it repaired, but you aren’t just responsible for keeping things running but keeping the repairs within budget. How can you tell if you are getting a reasonable repair quote if you don’t know what kind of repairs are common for DC motors? That’s the purpose of this article: to provide solid facts so you can make an informed decision about repairing that DC motor that has brought production to a grinding halt. Basics of DC Motors DC motors can be found in elevators, hoists, steel rolling mill drives, turntables, conveyor belts, mixers, printing presses, extruders, and more. These motors used direct current (DC) as opposed to alternating current (AC) and their speed can be adjusted by either adjusting the static field current or the voltage that is applied to the armature. Types of DC Motors The four types of DC motors are shunt wound motors, series wound motors, permanent magnet, and compound motors. Shunt motors are typically used for speed regulation made possible because the shunt field can be excited separately from the armature windings. Series motors generate excellent starting torque but don’t offer much in the way of speed regulation. Permanent magnetic motors are typically limited to low horsepower applications. Compound motors offer a good starting torque but don’t do well in variable speed applications. You also have other variations of DC motors that are unique variations and designs of these 4 types. Basic Components of a DC Motor DC motors will have a field frame that contains the field coils and an armature with windings wrapped around a core made of iron.

    MARINE DOCUMENT PACK ADVERC BM Ltd 245 Trysull Road, Merry Hill, Wolverhampton, West Midlands WV3 7LG Tel: 01902 380494 Fax: 01902 380435 [email protected] www.adverc.co.uk ADVERC - FUNCTIONAL BACK GROUND. Twenty-seven years of study and development have gone into optimising alternator battery charging which, presently, permits only 60% - 70% state-of-charge using conventional voltage regulation. The result is the well-proven ADVERC Battery Management System. The underlying principle is that batteries should be charged fully, quickly, safely and without damage to batteries and alternator. This is achieved, firstly, by cycling the battery voltages to an established programme, at a nominal 14.0-14.4v (12v systems) or 27.5-28.5v (24v systems). The cycling programme is normally: 5 minutes @ 14.0 volts, followed by 15 minutes @ 14.4 volts. After four 20 minute cycles, there is a 'rest period' of up to 40 minutes i.e. at the lower voltage, depending on the battery state-of-charge and electrical duty-cycle. These voltage values lie either side of the battery gassing voltage, ensuring rapid charging without the battery actually gassing. Voltage settings will accommodate most battery types including gel. Ni-cads etc., require a special setting. The charging voltages will automatically adjust for ambient temperature variations around the batteries, an important consideration e.g. increased with cold ambient temperature and vice versa. The net result is efficient alternator performance, compensation for voltage losses in the system (including that across blocking-diodes), accompanied by considerably reduced engine running time e.g. 50%. NOTE: ADVERC is a controller not a booster.
