The rotor overhang is used to enhance air-gap flux and improve power density. Due to asymmetry in the axial direction caused by the overhang, the time consuming 3D analysis is necessary to design the motor with overhang. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the equivalent magnetic circuit model (EMCM) that can consider overhang effects without the 3D analysis by using effective air-gap length. The analysis time can be reduced significantly via the proposed EMCM. The reduction of the analysis time is essential for the preliminary design of the motor. In order to verify the proposed model, the 3-D finite-element method (FEM) analysis is adopted. 3-D FEM results confirm the validity of the proposed EMCM.

Due to the asymmetry in the axial direction caused by the overhang, a time consuming 3D analysis is necessary when designing a motor with overhang. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an equivalent magnetic circuit model (EMCM) which takes account overhang effects without a 3D analysis by using effective air-gap length. The analysis time can be reduced significantly via the proposed EMCM. A reduction in the analysis time is essential for a preliminary design of a motor.

This paper reports about the successful suspension of a glass plate by electrostatic forces. In order to implement a stable suspension, the electrostatic forces exerted on the glass plate are actively controlled on the basis of the gap lengths between the glass plate and the stator electrodes. In this paper, the dynamic model of the suspension system and the influence of the resistivity of glass on the system stability are described, followed by stator electrode design, the experimental apparatus and a stabilizing controller. Experimental results show that the glass plate can be suspended at a gap length of about 0.3 mm. The influence of air humidity on the suspension initiation time, and the lateral dynamic characteristic are also described.

The occurrence of fires under transmission lines is responsible for a great number of power line outages. In this paper, the ac flashover voltages and the corona onset voltages of a needle-plane electrode gap of vertical arrangement in the presence of flame were investigated. We also observed the corona discharge current and variation of shapes in flame with increasing the applied voltages. We found that the corona onset voltages and the flashover voltages were drastically decreased with the position of flames and gap length of electrodes, and observed that the deflection or fluctuation phenomena in the shape of flames.

In this paper, hybrid electromagnets using NdFeB permenant magnet are designed by 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Four hybrid magnets levitate the carrier of which total weight including control circuits and battery is 14[kg]. The nominal air gap length of the hybrid magnet is 3[mm]. The control circuit consists of DSP, 4-quadrant chopper, and gap sensor as feedback sensors. As a result, some experimental results for the magnetic levitation control by PI feedback control theory are shown.

This paper proposes a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) based algorithm for data interpolation and design optimization of brushless dc (BLDC) motor. The procedure makes use of magnet length, stator slot opening and air gap length as design variables. Cogging torque and average torque are treated as performance indices. The optimal design necessitates mitigating the cogging torque and maximizing the average torque by varying design variables. The data set for interpolation and ensuing design optimisation using GRNN is obtained by modeling a standard BLDC motor using finite element analysis (FEA) tool MagNet 7.1.1. The performance indices of the standard motor obtained using FEA are validated with an experimental model and an analytical method. The optimal design is authenticated using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the performance indices of the optimal design obtained using GRNN is validated using FEA. The results indicate the suitability of GRNN as an interpolation and design optimization tool for a BLDC motor.

Performance comparison of IPMSMs with distributed and concentrated winding is presented in this papcr. Two IPMSMs have been designed and fabricated with identical rotor dimension, air-gap length, series turn number, stator outer radius, and axial length except winding configuration. Basic parameters and machine performance, such as resistances, back emf, output torque, and efficiency, are compared. From the comparison results, motor design considering winding configuration is discussed.

This paper proposes an optimized universal motor for improving its performance using the finite element method (FEM) with the (1＋1) Evolution Strategy (ES) algorithm. To do this, various design parameters are modified, such as air gap length, shape of motor slot, pole shoe, pole width, and rotor shaft diameter. Two parameters (arc length of stator pole and thickness of pole shoe) are chosen and optimized using the program, and the optimized model is built and tested with a performance measuring system. The measured values of the model are compared with those of the initial and the optimized model to prove the algorithm. As a result, the final model improves its performance compared with those of the initial model.

To develop electrically reliable high voltage apparatuses, the experimental study on the electrical breakdown field strength is needed, as well as theoretical approach. In this paper, lightning impulse breakdown characteristics considering utilization factors are investigated for the establishment of insulation design criteria of an high voltage apparatus. The utilization factors are represented as the ratio of mean electric field to maximum electric field. Dielectric experiments are performed by using five kinds of sphere-plane electrode systems made of stainless steel. As a result, it is found that dielectric characteristics are affected by not only gap length but also utilization factor of electrode systems. The results are expected to be applicable to the design of high voltage apparatuses.

The paper discusses the problem of the reduction in Coefficient of Performance (COP) in a refrigerator due to the inadequate position or some flow obstacles such as shelves in a room. The propriety of the present numerical method has teen proved by experiments using the flow visualization technique. The COP are calculated from the temperature rise of the condenser whose temperature indicates the condensing temperature of refrigerant The temperature rise is predicted by the theory of the steady two-dimensional laminar natural convection. In a room size of $2m\;{\times}\;2m$ the COP are decreased by 0.3 when the gap between the wall and condenser are decreased from 10cm to 2cm. While the COP are decreased by 0.55 as the shelf length increases from 0 to 75cm.
