  • Week 10: Oct 27, 2016 Preamble to Quantum Hall Effect: Exotic
    Week 10: Oct 27, 2016 Preamble to Quantum Hall Effect: Exotic Phenomenon in Quantum Physics The quantum Hall effect is one of the most remarkable of all quantum-matter phenomena, quite unanticipated by the physics community at the time of its discovery in 1980. This very surprising discovery earned von Klitzing the Nobel Prize in physics in 1985. The basic experimental observation is the quantization of resistance, in two-dimensional systems, to an extreme precision, irrespective of the sample’s shape and of its degree of purity. This intriguing phenomenon is a manifestation of quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale, and for that reason, it rivals superconductivity and Bose–Einstein condensation in its fundamental importance. As we will see later in this class, that this effect is an example of Berry phase and the “quanta” that appear in the quantization of Hall conductivity are the topological integers that emerge from quantum analog of Gauss-Bonnet theorem. This years Nobel prize to David Thouless is for explaining this exotic quantization in terms of topology. It turns out that the classical and quantum anholonomy are described by the same mathematics. To understand that, we need to introduce the concept of “curvature. As we know, it is the curved space that leads to anholonomy in classical physics. This allows us to define curvature in quantum physics. That is, using the concept of anholonomy in quantum physics, we can define the concept of curvature in quantum physics – that is, in Hilbert space. Curvature leads us to Topological Invariants that tells us that anholonomy may have its roots in topology.

  • Design and Construction of a Tachometer
    Design and Construction of a Tachometer Author: David Tisaj November 2014 Supervisors: Dr Sujeewa Hettiwatte & Dr Gareth Lee Project Outline In this project the student will design and construct a contact-less tachometer which could be used in the power engineering lab. The output should be a 6-digit display of revs/min and radians per second. The device should enable the use of several sensors (such as optical or Hall Effect). The device should be tested to demonstrate the ability to display at least 5 significant figures after a reasonable gating period. 2 I Acknowledgements I’d like to say thank you to Dr Gareth Lee for being my supervisor and coach throughout this thesis and Dr Sujeewa Hettiwatte for providing project specifications. I’d like to thank Mr Iafeta Laava for helping me build my circuit and attaching wires with headers very neatly which made my circuit look professional. I’d also like to thank my family and friends for pushing me through involving: my parents, Dusan Sibanic, Warwick Smith, Holly Poole, and Lyrian Evans. I’d like to thank “that computer shop” for recovering part of my thesis after I incurred a corrupt hard drive. Note to self and others: back up your work! And finally I’d like to thank all the websites online who have relinquished their copyright so it can be used in this thesis to explain topics in more clarity. 3 II Abstract The purpose of this report is to provide a guided tour of how everything was achieved by choosing the right parts, implementation and building, testing, results and of course to inspire future projects and students into making student level tachometers because they all come in different shapes and sizes.

  • Introduction to Magnetic Current Sensing.Pdf
    Introduction to Magnetic Current Sensing TI Precision Labs – Magnetic Sensors Presented and prepared by Ian Williams 1 Hello, and welcome to the TI precision labs series on magnetic sensors. My name is Ian Williams, and I’m the applications manager for current sensing products. In this video, we will give an introduction to magnetic current sensing, including: a comparison of direct vs. indirect sensing, review of Ampere’s law, and overview of different magnetic current sensing technologies. 2 Direct (shunt-based) current sensing • Things to know: – Based on Ohm’s law – Shunt resistor in series with load – Invasive measurement RSHUNT adds to system load Iload – Sensing circuit not isolated from system load • Recommend when: + + Vshunt R shunt + – Currents are < 100A - • Higher currents possible with appropriate shunt resistor and Vo design techniques - – System can tolerate power loss P = I2R – Low voltage 100V or less GND – Load current not very dynamic – Isolation not required (though it can be accomplished) See: TI Precision Labs – Current Sense Amplifiers 2 Direct, or shunt-based, current sensing is based on Ohm’s law. By placing a shunt resistor in series with the system load, a voltage is generated across the shunt resistor that is proportional to the system load current. The voltage across the shunt can be measured by differential amplifiers such as current sense amplifiers (CSAs), operational amplifiers (op amps), difference amplifiers (DAs), or instrumentation amplifiers (IAs). This method is an invasive measurement of the current since the shunt resistor and sensing circuitry are electrically connected to the monitored system. Therefore, direct sensing typically is used when galvanic isolation is not required, although isolated devices are available.

  • Hall Sensor Output Signal Fault-Detection &Amp
    MATEC Web of Conferences59, 01007 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/2016 59 01007 ICFST 2016 Hall Sensor Output Signal Fault-Detection & Safety Implementation Logic SangHun, Lee1, HongSeuk, Oh2 1 Intelligent automotive team, Daegu Mechatronics & Materials Institute, S.Korea 22STARGROUPIND. LTD, S.Korea Abstract. Recently BLDC motors have been popular in various industrial applications and electric mobility. Recently BLDC motors have been popular in various industrial applications and electric mobility. In most brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drives, there are three hall sensors as a position reference. Low resolution hall effect sensor is popularly used to estimate the rotor position because of its good comprehensive performance such as low cost, high reliability and sufficient precision. Various possible faults may happen in a hall effect sensor. This paper presents a fault-tolerant operation method that allows the control of a BLDC motor with one faulty hall sensor and presents the hall sensor output fault-tolerant control strategy. The situations considered are when the output from a hall sensor stays continuously at low or high levels, or a short-time pulse appears on a hall sensor signal. For fault detection, identification of a faulty signal and generating a substitute signal, this method only needs the information from the hall sensors. There are a few research work on hall effect sensor failure of BLDC motor. The conventional fault diagnosis methods are signal analysis, model based analysis and knowledge based analysis. The proposed method is signal based analysis using a compensation signal for reconfiguration and therefore fault diagnosis can be fast. The proposed method is validated to execute the simulation using PSIM.

Received: 27 September 2012; in revised form: 29 October 2012 / Accepted: 30 October 2012 / Published: 9 November 2012 Abstract: Advanced sensing and measurement techniques are key technologies to realize a smart grid. The giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect has revolutionized the fields of data storage and magnetic measurement. In this work, a design of a GMR current sensor based on a commercial analog GMR chip for applications in a smart grid is presented and discussed. Static, dynamic and thermal properties of the sensor were characterized. The characterizations showed that in the operation range from 0 to ±5 A, the sensor had a sensitivity of 28 mV·A−1, linearity of 99.97%, maximum deviation of 2.717%, frequency response of −1.5 dB at 10 kHz current measurement, and maximum change of the amplitude response of 0.0335%·°C−1 with thermal compensation.

  • High Sensitivity Differential Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) Based Sensor for Non-Contacting DC/AC Current Measurement
    Article High Sensitivity Differential Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) Based Sensor for Non-Contacting DC/AC Current Measurement Cristian Mușuroi, Mihai Oproiu, Marius Volmer * and Ioana Firastrau 1 Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics, Transilvania University of Brasov, 29 Blvd. Eroilor, 500036 Brasov, Romania; [email protected] (C.M.); [email protected] (M.O.); [email protected] (I.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 December 2019; Accepted: 3 January 2020; Published: 6 January 2020 Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a high sensitivity giant magnetoresistance (GMR) based current sensor with a broad range of applications. The novelty of our approach consists in using a double differential measurement system, based on commercial GMR sensors, with an adjustable biasing system used to linearize the field response of the system. The work aims to act as a fully-operational proof of concept application, with an emphasis on the mode of operation and methods to improve the sensitivity and linearity of the measurement system. The implemented system has a broad current measurement range from as low as 75 mA in DC and 150 mA in AC up to 4 A by using a single setup. The sensor system is also very low power, consuming only 6.4 mW. Due to the way the sensors are polarized and positioned above the U- shaped conductive band through which the current to be measured is flowing, the differential setup offers a sensitivity of about between 0.0272 to 0.0307 V/A (signal from sensors with no amplifications), a high immunity to external magnetic fields, low hysteresis effects of 40 mA, and a temperature drift of the offset of about −2.59×10−4 A/°C.
