Study of an accurate and robust braking control method is required as a technical improvement to the servo system. In particular, the braker exhibiting constant braking performance under speed variation conditions of the prime mover needs to be investigated. In this paper, the braking torque of the eddy current braker between the electromagnet stator and rotating disk is analyzed. The torque-speed characteristics and accurate disk construction are represented. From the computer simulation results, it was found that eddy current braking torque is linear or approximately constant over the desired speed range depending on the rotor material, disk construction, pole number and pole displacement of the stator. These relations are confirmed by experimental results.

When a high-speed train reduces its operating velocity while decelerating from a maximum of 350 to 50 [km/h], the train applies eddy-current brakes, which results in a deceleration time of approximately 3minutes. Therefore, a high current is utilized in order to obtain a large braking force. Consequently, the temperature of the electromagnet and rail increases significantly. In this paper, The thermal characteristics on a single magnet pole with convection heat transfer coefficient are simulated by using 2D-FEM. To verify the analysis results, the computed temperatures are compared with the experimentally measured temperature at stationary state. Furthermore, transient-state thermal analysis is performed to predict the magnet temperatures as the train is decelerating.

Brake system using eddy current is adequate to obtain safe braking force in high speed transportation system and electric vehicle etc. In this paper, we propose the new type eddy current braker using Halbach array. which compared with the conventional permanent magnet array. The airgap flux density of Halbach array is higher 25% then conventional array, therefor we can predict that braking force is much large 1.56 times then conventional array.

The brake systems of high-speed train are to be equipped with three different brake systems, such as regenerative brake with regenerative feedback in driving car, a pneumatic disc brake, and non-contact linear eddy-current brake(ECB). The regenerative brake and the pneumatic disc brake are acting on the wheels. Their achievable braking force depends on the adhesive coefficient, which is influenced by the weather condition and speed, between the wheel and The linear eddy current brake gets an economical solution in the high-speed train because of the independence of the adhesive coefficient, no maintenance needed. and the good control characteristics. The braking force and the normal force of ECB for korean high-speed train are analysed by the 2D FEM(Finite Element Method). Finally the normal force is compared with the experiential values to verify the analysis.

The technical improvement of servo system, it is required to study on robust control method in company. It needs to study on brake system that has constant torque-speed performance as load variation. In this paper, braking torque characteristics of eddy current braker between electromagnet stator and rotating disk are analyzed. The torque-speed characteristics and proper disk construction are presented. From the computer simulation results, it was found that eddy current braking torque is linear or approximately constant over the desired speed range depending on the rotor material, disk construction, pole number and pole displacement of stator. The relationship of these parameters are confirmed by experimental result.

This paper describes the analysis resulates on the P.T ferroresonance at 154kV GIS(Gas Insulated Substation) by EMTP(Electromagnetic transient program). We had simulated the PT ferroresonance between a potential transformer(PT) and open circuit braker's grading capacitance. The ferroresonance leads to very large power frequency overvoltage on PT bus and subsequent insulation failure. The damping circuit connected on the secondary winding were considered in the model. The actual countermeasure include a saturable inductor and a resistor series mounted, but the 2 ohms of damping resistance was used in the computational model.

The ability of the engine starting performance of conventional ignition system being currently used in automobile gasoline engine is investigated, and the method of improving is discussed and experimented. The conventional ignition system cannot obtain high ignited voltage because its current is limited by decreasing of terminal voltage of battery at starting the engine also causes irregularity in the starting engine. This paper shows that problem can be improved practically by control of ignition energy properly according to the engine speed, consequently this experimental ignition system can eliminate to remarkable extent the function of the engine starting, and also enhance the performance of the engine at high speed.

Automotive brake system is an essential element for the safety. The system is powered by the circulation of brake oil. A braker hose is used for the circulation of the oil in this system. Layout of the hose changes according to the steering and stress occur in the hose. A lot of the durability tests are performed in order to prevent serious problems such as hose bursting by the accumulation of the stress before setting an optimized hose layout on automobile. The test is conducted for the layout which is same such as set in automobile. In the test, brake hose layout shall exercise the same mode of thousands of times under the high temperature and periodic pressure condition and then the damage of the tested hose is inspected. This test, however, has a disadvantage of heavy consumption of time and money. In order to compensate for these drawbacks, the finite element method(FEM) study was performed to predict the changes in the layout of the brake hose. In this study, the FEM results and the test results were compared and the validity was verified. The radius of curvature of the FEM and test at the same positions were especially investigated for the validation. Also, this study will be used as the basis of research on the life prediction of brake hose.
