Since governmental and agency regulations continue to mandate reduced energy consumption, inverter technology is being increasingly accepted and used by a wide range of users in the design of their products. Power modules for inverterized motor drive applications are also part of a current trend due to the advantages that offer such as space-savings and ease of assembly. Integrated power modules seem to be the solution chosen by most researchers, designers or producers in the field of motor drive applications. Fairchild Semiconductor has developed a series of Smart Power Module (SPM®) devices for a highly efficient integrated solution. They concentrate on the development of an intelligent integrated power module using the new concept of building structure and advanced packaging technology that is the means of achieving an excellent, cost-effective solution. This module offers tremendous advantages such as increased reliability, design flexibility, simple construction, easy assembly, increase motor efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the inverter power stage for home appliance applications. The objective of this project is to perform simulation of SPM® via Fairchild Motion Design Tool and analysis the data by using switching loss calculation design tool via Microsoft excel to determine the efficiency of MOSFET and IGBT in smart power module. In this thesis, there will be further explanation about IGBT and MOSFET, Brushless DC motor (BLDC), Universal motor, motor efficiency and power loss. iii CONTENTS Page DECLARATION i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ii

Abstract Electrical machine with electro magnet as excitation system many problems out of which, less efficiency is a major one. Self excited dc machine has to sacrifice some power for excitation system as a result, power available for useful work become less. This problem can be solved to some extent whatever may be the amount , by using permanent magnet for the excitation system of dc machine and there by contributing towards the conservation of conventional energy sources which are alarmingly decrease day by day . Using of permanent magnet in the electrical machine helps in burning of less conventional fossil fuel and contributes indirectly in conservation of air- pollution free environment.

  • 6.061 Class Notes, Chapter 11: DC (Commutator) and Permanent
    Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 6.061 Introduction to Power Systems Class Notes Chapter 11 DC (Commutator) and Permanent Magnet Machines ∗ J.L. Kirtley Jr. 1 Introduction Virtually all electric machines, and all practical electric machines employ some form of rotating or alternating field/current system to produce torque. While it is possible to produce a “true DC” machine (e.g. the “Faraday Disk”), for practical reasons such machines have not reached application and are not likely to. In the machines we have examined so far the machine is operated from an alternating voltage source. Indeed, this is one of the principal reasons for employing AC in power systems. The first electric machines employed a mechanical switch, in the form of a carbon brush/commutator system, to produce this rotating field. While the widespread use of power electronics is making “brushless” motors (which are really just synchronous machines) more popular and common, com­ mutator machines are still economically very important. They are relatively cheap, particularly in small sizes, they tend to be rugged and simple. You will find commutator machines in a very wide range of applications. The starting motor on all automobiles is a series-connected commutator machine. Many of the other electric motors in automobiles, from the little motors that drive the outside rear-view mirrors to the motors that drive the windshield wipers are permanent magnet commutator machines. The large traction motors that drive subway trains and diesel/electric locomotives are DC commutator machines (although induction machines are making some inroads here).

  • Universal Motor - Construction, Working and Characteristics
    Universal Motor - construction, working and characteristics. A universal motor is a special type of motor which is designed to run on either DC or single phase AC supply. These motors are generally series wound (armature and field winding are in series), and hence produce high starting torque (See characteristics of DC motors here). That is why, universal motors generally comes built into the device they are meant to drive. Most of the universal motors are designed to operate at higher speeds, exceeding 3500 RPM. They run at lower speed on AC supply than they run on DC supply of same voltage, due to the reactance voltage drop which is present in AC and not in DC. There are two basic types of universal motor : (i)compensated type and (ii) uncompensated type. Construction of Universal motor Construction of a universal motor is very similar to the construction of a DC machine. It consists of a stator on which field poles are mounted. Field coils are wound on the field poles. However, the whole magnetic path (stator field circuit and also armature) is laminated. Lamination is necessary to minimize the eddy currents which induce while operating on AC. The rotary armature is of wound type having straight or skewed slots and commutator with brushes resting on it. The commutation on AC is poorer than that for DC. because of the current induced in the armature coils. For that reason brushes used are having high resistance. Working of universal motor A universal motor works on either DC or single phase AC supply. When the universal motor is fed with a DC supply, it works as a DC series motor.

  • UNIVERSAL MOTORS Universal Motor
    UNIVERSAL MOTORS Universal motor The motors which can be used with a single phase AC source as well as a DC source of supply and voltages are called as Universal Motor. It is also known as Single Phase Series Motor. A universal motor is a commutation type motor. Construction of the universal motor The construction of the universal motor is same as that of the series motor. I n o rd e r t o m i n i m i z e t h e p ro b l e m o f commutation, high resistance brushes with increased brush area are used. To reduce Eddy current losses the stator core and yoke are laminated. The Universal motor is simple and less costly. It is used usually for rating not greater than 7 5 0 W . Characteristic of Universal motor The characteristic of Universal motor is similar to that of the DC series motor. When operating from an AC supply, the series motor develops less torque. By interchanging connections of the fields with respect to the armature, the direction of rotation can be altered. Universal motor T h e d i r e c t i o n o f t h e developed torque will re m a i n p o s i t i v e , a n d direction of the rotation will be as it was before. The nature of the torque will be pulsating, and the frequency will be twice that of line frequency as shown in the waveform. Universal motor Thus, a Universal motor can work on both AC and DC.

  • Brush DC Motor Runs Along Dan Jones, Incremotion Associates
    TECHNICAL Brush DC Motor Runs Along Dan Jones, Incremotion Associates Everything started in 1800 when Volta developed the first DC battery. Fara- day used the DC battery to develop the first electric motor. It used brushes to transfer the battery voltage and cur- rent to the rotating disk rotor. This was in mid-1831. Thus was born the brush DC motor. Construction The slotted brush DC motor of today comes in two basic configurations: the wound field DC motor and the perma- nent magnet DC motor. The key parts of a DC motor include the armature (the rotating part), the field (either a cop- per winding or permanent magnet), and a mechanical commutation sys- tem consisting of a slotted commutator, mechanical brushes with copper wires connecting to outside terminals. The commutator is connected to various windings in a sequential pattern. The two brushes ride on the commutator to connect to the battery or outside power source via the terminals as shown in Figure 1. These brush DC motor types are called slotted or iron core types. Motor Operation The DC motor is the simplest motor type. Raise the input voltage and the motor speeds up. Lower the voltage and it reduces speed. Increase the mo- tor’s shaft load and shaft torque and armature current go up while the speed goes down. The permanent magnet DC motor is the most popular type, replac- ing the three wound field DC motors in many applications. Today the most Figure 1 Permanent magnet DC motor structure. popular wound field DC motor has an- other name—the universal motor—a separate motor type because it can be driven by AC and DC input power.

  • 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.

Page 2 of 46 www.PDHcenter.com PDHonline Course E403 www.PDHonline.org Introduction An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. A generator forces electric charge to flow through an external electrical circuit. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by an electric motor, and motors and generators have many similarities. Many motors can be mechanically driven to generate electricity and frequently make acceptable generators. Michael Faraday built the first electromagnetic generator, called the Faraday disk, a type of homopolar generator, using a copper disc rotating between the poles of a horseshoe magnet. It produced a small DC voltage. The image on the right is a Faraday disk, which is considered the first electric generator. The horseshoe-shaped magnet created a magnetic field through the disk. When the disk was turned, this induced an electric current radially outward from the center toward the rim. The current flowed out through the sliding spring contact, through the external circuit, and back into the center of the disk through the axle.
