In DC electric railways, while an electric rail car is driving, a part of the working current returned to the substation through rails leaks into the ground. Such a stray current causes railway facilities and metal objects to corrode electrolytically. Therefore, change of stray current needs to be monitored constantly. But so far in domestic, the research on stray current measuring techniques and system adaption are insufficient. To estimate stray current, this paper addresses a method of monitoring the return current that is returned into the negative pole of the substation in real time.

This paper proposes a method for reducing the negative spatial harmonics of the radial flux density of an interior-type permanent magnet (IPM) motor. The reliability of the motor is increased by minimizing its vibrations under dynamic eccentricity (DE) state and normal state due to reduction of a negative spatial harmonics component through the influx of a zero spatial harmonics component in the radial flux density. To minimize the vibrations, optimal notches corresponding to the distribution shape of the magnetic field are designed on the rotor pole face. The variations of vibration computation by finite element method (FEM) and the validity of the analysis and rotor shape design are confirmed by vibration and performance experiments.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) has a considerable potential for industrial applications because of its high reliability as a result of the absence of rotor windings. In some applications with SRM, a parallel switching strategy is often used for cost saving, increasing of current capacity and system reliability. This paper proposes a new parallel switching strategy of SRM using parallel winding. While conventional parallel switching devices are connected in a phase winding, power devices are connected in the parallel windings wound in each pole of stator in the proposed method. Paralleling strategy for current sharing in the proposed method can be easily determined without considerations of any nonlinear characteristics of power devices such as conduction resistance, threshold voltage and gain factor. The proposed paralleling strategy is verified by the mathematical analysis and experimental results.

A low-temperature cofired-ceramic (LTCC) multi-layer ceramic (MLC) band-pass filter (BPF) is presented, which has the benefits of low cost and small size. The BPF is designed for an IMT-2000 handset. The computer-aided design technology is also presented. The BPF with an attenuation pole at below the passband has been discussed and realized. The equivalent circuit of the BPF was established by transmission lines and lumped capacitors. The frequency characteristics of the LTCC-MLC BPF is well acceptable for IMT-2000 application.

The fabrication of high quality superconducting thin films using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been reported to find optimized processing conditions and to make the millimeter-wave devices. High temperature superconducting (HTS) YBCO films were prepared on MgO (10${\times}$10${\times}$0.5mm) substrates by the PLD. The 3 pole bandpass filter with the center frequency of 22 GHz for satellite communication was designed consisting of hairpin coupled-lines to reduce the configuration in size. YBCO films are c-axis oriented and show superconductive transition temperatures of 88∼89 K with the transition widths < 0.5 K. The insertion loss of passband at 70 K was about 5 dB. The measured frequency response of superconducting filter will be compared with the simulation result.

The elliptic functions have a set of zeros on the jw axis. In acitve realization we decompose a function into product of biquads. In this paper, a simple method of pole-zero pairing is proposed for the enhancement of overall dynamic range. Secondly, the optimum sequencing of individual biquads is developed and it is demonstrated that the commonly accepted sequencing technique does not hold in the case of elliptic functions. This work is an approximation for Leuder's(1970)method.

This paper deals with the performance analysis of three phase induction motor considering its stator side faults and operating thermal limits. The speed control of induction motor using three phase boost converter operated by a MOSFET switch and a PI controller is demonstrated and presented in this article. IGBTs switches are used for inverter drive mechanism. The experimental result of speed control of induction motor using voltage control technique clearly shows better accuracy than conventional methods of speed control. A three phase 1HP 415V 0.78 kW 4 Pole induction motor is designed using motor solver software. Based on the parameters used in the software thermal analysis of induction motor is done and torque variation with conductor area, efficiency, output curve, losses in different parts of motor has been obtained. Also different types of faults namely under voltage, over voltage, stator imbalanced voltage, turn to turn, locked rotor bar, wrong alignment of rotor bar with respect to stator are studied and fault analysis is performed. Hence comparison is made based upon the results obtained before and after faults.

This paper describes the design and analysis of vibration driven cylindric electromagnetic energy harvester. The proposed harvester consists with spring, coil and rear earth magnet. The design utilizes an electromagnetic transducer and its operating principle is based on the relative movement of a magnet pole with respect to a coil. In order to optimal design and analysis, ANSYS FEA (Finite Elements Analysis) and Matlab model were used to predict the magnetic filed density with vibration and the generated maximum output power with load resistance. The system was designed for 6 Hz of natural frequency and spring constant was 39.48 N/m between 2 mm and 6 mm of displacement in moving magnet. When moving magnet of system was oscillated, each model was obtained that induced voltage in the coil was generated 2.275 Vpp, 2.334 Vpp and 2.384 Vpp, respectively. Then maximum output powers of system at load resistance ($1303{\Omega}$) were generated $124.2{\sim}132.2\;{\mu}W$ during magnets input displacement of 3 mm and 6 Hz periodic oscillation.

This study presents a model of a drivetrain for an integrated design of a light electric vehicle (EV). For the drivetrain of each front wheel of the single-person, battery-powered EV tricycle consists of a battery, an inverter, and an outer rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), which is connected to an in-wheel gearbox. The efficiency of the inverter, motor, and gearbox is analyzed over the New European Driving Cycle. To calculate the losses and efficiency of the PMSM, the power electronics in the inverter and gearbox are used. The analytical models provide a fast, but less accurate result, useful for optimization purposes. To accurately predict the efficiency of the PMSM, a finite element model is used. The models are validated by test setups. Correspondingly, a good agreement between the measurements and the calculated results is achieved. A parameter study is performed to investigate the influence of the detailed component parameters (i.e., outer rotor radius, gear ratio, and number of pole pairs and stator slots) on the average efficiency of the drivetrain.

Recently we suffered lot of failures of polymer surge arresters made by same manufacture after one year field operation. In order to set up countermeasures we investigated the causes of failures. We extracted faulted arresters and sound ones which were installed in same pole with faulted ones for the electrical test and dissection. 44 arresters were removed from 8 branch offices. Almost all of faulted arresters hadtracking damage on the interface between inner module and housing and the surface of inner module was very rough and irregular. It was possible to occur moisture ingress into the interface between inner module and housing due to the void of the interface and non tight sealing caps. Lots of sound arresters were failed during the moisture ingress test. This result must relate with tracking damage of faulted arresters. Therefore we can say that arresters had poor interface and sealing system. But we could not found aging and defects of ZnO elements because the electrical performance except moisture ingress test of arresters showed good.
