This paper deals with the effect of the auxiliary pole core in the automotive starter motor on its characteristics. This motor is excited by the permanent magnet and has auxiliary pole core in the stator. The auxiliary pole core is a device to increase the effective flux to obtain the starling torque and prevent the demagnetization of the permanent magnet from the starting current. It Is important to design the auxiliary pore core. And overhang structure causes the electromagnetic phenomenon of 3-dimensional flux Path. Therefore. the characteristic analysis is achieved by the 2-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) with the compensated model and the 3-dimensional Equivalent Magnet Circuit Network (3D EMCN). The mechanical loss and the brush and coil resistance are separated from the various experiment of the tested motor, and then these factor are reflected on the analysis results. The validity of the proposed analysis method is verified by comparing the experimental and analysis results. The effects of the design parameters related to the auxiliary pole cote on the motor performance are analyzed by the proposed method.

This paper presents the sensorless position control of an auxiliary scaffolding step system for vehicles using DC motors. The designed auxiliary scaffolding step has a mechanical protector at the stop position. At this position, the scaffolding is forcibly stopped by the mechanical protector, and the motor current is dramatically increased to the stall current of the DC motor, thereby increasing the electrical damage. In this study, the estimated back EMF- and current model-based observers are proposed to estimate the motor speed and stop position. A simple V/F acceleration voltage pattern is used to operate the auxiliary scaffolding system. The estimated moving position is adopted to determine the stop position of the DC motor with the load current state. The operating current of the DC motor can be reduced by the estimated moving position and V/F acceleration pattern. At the stop position, the proposed sensorless position controller can smoothly stop the DC motor with the estimated moving position and reduced load current without any mechanical and electrical stress from the stall current from the mechanical protector. The proposed control scheme is verified by the comparison of simulations and experiments.

In this paper, an auxiliary winding driving system of single-phase induction motors is described. Starting charateristics variations are obtained by controlling the auxiliary winding voltage magnitude and phase angle, while the motor's main winding is directly connected to the local utility. A variable auxiliary winding voltage phase angle is shown to yield significant torque control, providing starting and braking torque. The analysis includes the determination of the relationship between the auxiliary winding voltage phase angle and the phase angle difference between the main and auxiliary winding current. The paper proposed for adjusting an auxiliary winding voltage magnitude and phase angle. Experimental results of motor's starting characteristics with using the DC-AMP and PWM inverter for auxiliary winding power supply are shown. The drive is tested using a dynamometer to experimentally verify the results of the theory.

This paper introduces novel a two-phase permanent magnet BLDC (PMBLDC) motor with both an asymmetric tooth and an auxiliary tooth in order to improve the dead point, efficiency and torque ripple. To calculate the merits of introducing each of the asymmetric tooth and the auxiliary tooth, characteristic analysis is performed respectively using finite element method (FEM). To maximize performance, we propose a novel model which combines the asymmetric tooth and the auxiliary tooth. To maximize the efficiency of the novel model, an optimal design is processed using the Kriging method and a genetic algorithm. Finally, an experiment is used to confirm the initial and optimal design results.

This paper presents a simple circuit topology of the auxiliary active quasi-resonant DC link snubber-assisted three phase voltage source soft-switching inverter for small scale PM motor drive applications. The pulse processing drive circuit interface and its soft-switching operation are discussed from an experimental point of view. Moreover, its conductive noise is measured and evaluated for electrical AC servo motor drive as compared with that of the conventional hard switching inverter.

A new excitation strategy for a Switched Reluctance Motor with Auxiliary Winding(SRMAW) is described and tested. The proposed scheme has auxiliary winding with one diode which is wound over all poles in one winding. In this scheme, auxiliary winding is used to reduce magnetic stress during commutations. The abrupt change of a phase excitation produces mechanical stresses resulting in vibration and noise. The acoustic noise is reduced remarkably through the 2-stage commutation. The operational principle and a characteristic comparison of the conventional SRM show that this scheme has some advantages including noise reduction as well as high drive efficiency.

A novel zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) PWM converter for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives is proposed. A simple auxiliary circuit which consists of one active switch, one resonant inductor, and three diodes provides ZVS condition to all main switches and diodes allowing high frequency operation of the converter with high efficiency. The auxiliary circuit is placed in parallel with the main power flow path and thus it handles only a small fraction of the main power. So, the power rating of the auxiliary circuit can be very small (about 30% of main power). So, the auxiliary circuit can be realized with small power rating and low cost. Operation, features and characteristics of the proposed converter are illustrated and verified on a 1.5 kW, 50 kHz IGBT based (a MOSFET for the auxiliary with) experimental circuit.

Pantograph must be correctly attached to catenary to continuously supply stable power to railway vehicle, and the device used here is Auxiliary Air Compressor (ACM). The existing ACM used the DC motor that included commutator and brush. Since maintenance and repair by mechanical friction are essential for the DC motor, BLDC motor studies have been conducted to improve this. A three-phase BLDC motor does $120^{\circ}$ two-phase commutation through hall sensors in general. However, since hall sensor is vulnerable to heat and can run only when all three sensors work normally, sensorless control method has been studied to solve this. Using back EMF Zero Crossing Point (ZCP) detection method, this paper will introduce a stable switching sensing method that has a non-commutation area in a low speed zone.

Single phase induction motor(SPIM) is one of the most widely used type of low power AC motors in the world, especially for domestic or commercial applications where a three phase power supply is not available. Single phase induction motors have no starting torque their own. So there are several ways of starting single phase induction motors. The most common type is the starting capacitor installed in series with the auxiliary winding to increase the starting torque. In the conventional systems, this function is conducted by a centrifugal switch. But the mechanical centrifugal switch has many problems such as switch malfunction. This paper presents the auxiliary winding control using digital universal starting switch to overcome these shortcomings of centrifugal switch.
