  • Alternator Winding Temperature Rise in Generator Systems
    TM Information Sheet # 55 Alternator Winding Temperature Rise in Your Reliable Guide for Power Solutions Generator Systems 1.0 Introduction: When a wire carries electrical current, its temperature will increase due to the resistance of the wire. The factor that mostly influences/ limits the acceptable level of temperature rise is the insulation system employed in an alternator. So the hotter the wire, the shorter the life expectancy of the insulation and thus the alternator.

  • Improvement of Electromagnetic Railgun Barrel Performance and Lifetime By
    IMPROVEMENT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RAILGUN BARREL PERFORMANCE AND LIFETIME BY METHOD OF INTERFACES AND AUGMENTED PROJECTILES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering by Aleksey Pavlov June 2013 c 2013 Aleksey Pavlov ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Improvement of Electromagnetic Rail- gun Barrel Performance and Lifetime by Method of Interfaces and Augmented Pro- jectiles AUTHOR: Aleksey Pavlov DATE SUBMITTED: June 2013 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Kira Abercromby, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Aerospace Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: Eric Mehiel, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Aerospace Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: Vladimir Prodanov, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: Thomas Guttierez, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Physics iii Abstract Improvement of Electromagnetic Railgun Barrel Performance and Lifetime by Method of Interfaces and Augmented Projectiles Aleksey Pavlov Several methods of increasing railgun barrel performance and lifetime are investigated. These include two different barrel-projectile interface coatings: a solid graphite coating and a liquid eutectic indium-gallium alloy coating. These coatings are characterized and their usability in a railgun application is evaluated. A new type of projectile, in which the electrical conductivity varies as a function of position in order to condition current flow, is proposed and simulated with FEA software. The graphite coating was found to measurably reduce the forces of friction inside the bore but was so thin that it did not improve contact. The added contact resistance of the graphite was measured and gauged to not be problematic on larger scale railguns. The liquid metal was found to greatly improve contact and not introduce extra resistance but its hazardous nature and tremendous cost detracted from its usability.

  • Soft Starting of Three Phase Induction Motor
    © 2017 IJRTI | Volume 2, Issue 5 | ISSN: 2456-3315 SOFT STARTING OF THREE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR 1Mr. Satpute Akshaykumar, 2Mr. Tambe Sagar, 3Mr. Shinde Vijay, 4Prof. Mone P.P. Department of Electrical Engineering SVPM’s College of Engineering Malegaon (Bk), Tal-Baramati, Dist-Pune, Savitribai Phule Pune University. Abstract— This paper, present a soft starting of induction motor. At the time of starting three phase induction motor takes very large current and have low power factor. Due to high current, motor torque content ripples and transients. Due to transients and torque pulsation shaft of motor experiences jerk hence mechanical life of rotor reduces. In order to mitigate this adverse effect if starting current and torque pulsation in induction motor, a popular method is used which is electronically controlled soft starting of induction motor. Normally soft starters are used for avoiding this problems and soft start is achieved by increasing stator frequency. By using soft starter performance of induction motor is improved and also improved load torque characteristics. Keywords— Three phase induction motor, microcontroller, and PWM inverter. I. INTRODUCTION The ac motor starters employing power semiconductors are being increasingly used to replace electromagnetic line starters and conventional reduced-voltage starters because of their controlled soft-starting capability with limited starting current. Thyristor-based soft starters are cheap, simple, reliable, and occupy less volume, and therefore, their use is a viable solution to the induction motor (IM) starting problem. Depending on the initial switching instants of all the three phases to the supply, an IM may produce severe pulsations on the electromechanical torque, regardless of whether it is controlled by a direct-online starter or a soft starter .

The generator is named as rotat- ing power electronic brushless doubly-fed induction machine/generator (RPE- BDFIM/G). A great advantage of the RPE-BDFIG is that the slip power recovery is realized in a brushless manner. This is achieved by introducing an addi- tional machine termed as exciter together with the rotating power electronic converters, which are mounted on the shaft of a DFIG. It is shown that the exciter recovers the slip power in a mechanical manner, and delivers it back to the grid. As a result, slip rings and carbon brushes can be eliminated, increasing the robustness of the system, and reducing the maintenance costs and down-time of the turbine. To begin with, the dynamic model of the RPE-BDFIG is developed and analyzed. Using the dynamic model, the working principle of the generator is understood and its operation explained.

The current-to-torque and frequency-to-speed relationships of BLDC motors are linear. BLDC motors may be described as stepper motors, with fixed permanent magnets and possibly more poles on the rotor than the stator, or reluctance motors. The latter may be without permanent magnets, just poles that are induced on the rotor then pulled into alignment by timed stator windings. However, the term stepper motor tends to be used for motors that are designed specifically to be operated in a mode where they are frequently stopped with the rotor in a defined angular position; this page describes more general BLDC motor principles, though there is overlap.

Basic Principle A.C. generators or alternators (as they are DC generator usually called) operate on the same fundamental principles of electromagnetic induction as d.c. generators. They also consist of an armature winding and a magnetic field. But there is one important difference between the two. Whereas in d.c. generators, the armature rotates and the field system is stationary, the arrangement Single split ring commutator in alternators is just the reverse of it. In their case, standard construction consists of armature winding mounted on a stationary element called stator and field windings on a rotating element called rotor. The details of construction are shown in Fig. 37.1. Fig. 37.1 The stator consists of a cast-iron frame, which supports the armature core, having slots on its inner periphery for housing the armature conductors. The rotor is like a flywheel having alternate N and S poles fixed to its outer rim.
