Two step serial load induction superheater has been proposed using resonance type induction heat method in this paper. Heat method is a type of flowing the electron induction and current to special alloy heater in body from external heat coil with non-contact method. Inverter was a full bridge serial load resonance type and inductor was used as load in LC resonance design to maximize the efficiency. The developed system is a new heat exchanging method combined with electromagnetic induction heater and fluid movement, ana very accurate to control of heating the gas, liquid and evaporated mass, so on without combustion process.

In this paper, a thermal analysis of a high speed induction motor with a PWM voltage source was performed by considering harmonic loss components. The electromagnetic analysis of the high speed induction motor was conducted using the time-varying finite element method, and its thermal characteristics were carried out using the lump-circuit method. Harmonic losses from tests in the high frequency region were divided into core loss and conductor loss components using various ratios, in order to determine the loss distributions for the thermal analysis. The results from both the calculations and experiment were validated using a high speed induction motor prototype operating at 20,000rpm.

Eddy current induction is used in a wide range of electronic devices, for example in detection sensors. Due to the advances in computer hardware and software, the need for 3D computation and system comprehension is a requirement to develop and optimize such devices nowadays. Pure theoretical models are mostly limited to special cases. On the other hand, the classical use of commercial Finite Element (FE) electromagnetic 3D models is not computationally efficient and lacks modeling flexibility or robustness. The proposed approach focuses on: (1) implementing theoretical formulations in 3D (FE) model of a detection device as well as (2) an automatic Volumetric Estimation Method (VEM) developed to selectively model the target finite elements. Due to these two approaches, this model is suitable for parametric studies and optimization of the number, location, shape, and size of PCB receivers in order to get the desired target discrimination information preserving high accuracy with tenfold reduction in computation time compared to commercial FE software.

This paper deals with the effect on the stress and deformation of the rotor bar of a cage induction motor by the thermal stress, centrifugal force and electromagnetic force. We use both the thermal network method(TNM) and the finite element method(FEM) to analyze the temperature and stress of the rotor.

Compared with linear induction principle, the transverse flux circumferential induction principle is suggested as a driving mechanism of the revolving stage, which can rotate contactlessly without any supporting structure. The stage realizes the integrated motion of levitation, rotation, and planar perturbation, using the two-axis forces, normally directed force of the air-gap and tangential force, of the induction drivers mounted on the stator uniformly. In this paper, the force generating mechanism of the stage is described in detail. First, the various core shapes generating the transverse flux are analyzed to guarantee the proper thrust force. And the vector force intensity of the circumferential induction driver constituting the stage is compared with that of the linear induction driver. Especially it is shown that the magnetic force of the suggested system can be modeled with the linear equivalent model, including the test verification.

To evaluate the biohazard properties of an extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF), we explored the physical properties of the ELF-EMF that generates the electric current induction in the secondary coil from the chamber of a primary solenoid coil. We subsequently explored the biological effects of a strong alternating electromagnetic field (EMF), ranging from 730-960 Gauss, on the mouse testis. Mice were exposed to an alternating EMF field induced by a rectangular electric current at 1, 7, 20, 40, and 80 Hertz, for 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours. The mouse testes were examined for proliferative activity and apoptosis using the in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) method and by immunostaining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), respectively. We found that the electric currentm induction increased in the 6-8 Hertz range, and that exposure to an ELF-EMF induced the apoptosis of mouse spermatocytes. In situ TdT staining was found to be most prominent in 7 Hertz group, and gradually reduced in the 20, 40, and 80 Hertz groups. These data suggest that a strong EMF can induce reproductive cell death within a short time, and the harmful effects of the EMF are maximal at low frequency alternating EMFs.

The temperature distribution and subsequent permanent deformation of SS400 carbon steel plate subjected to an induction-based line heating process were studied by a numerical method involving coupled 3-D electromagnetic-thermal-structural analysis. The numerical study revealed that the amount of permanent deformation is strongly related to the Joule loss caused by such process conditions as input power and moving speed of the heat source. To validate the numerical analysis results, line heating experiments were carried out with a high frequency(HF) induction heating(IH) equipment capable of bending thick plate with the moving accuracy of ${\pm}0.1mm$ in heating coil position. The amount of permanent deformation increased with decreasing moving speed and increasing input power.

With the advent of power semiconductor switching devices, power electronics relating to high frequency electromagnetic eddy current based induction heating technology have become more suitable and acceptable. This paper presents high-frequency induction heating cooking appliance circuit based on the zero current switching-PWM single ended push-pull(ZCS-PWM SEPP) resonant inverter added AC-DC converter. This inverter uses pulse-width-modulation(PWM) control method with active auxiliary quasi-resonant lossless inductor snubbers and a switched capacitor. To improved the transient performance, the PI controller is applied for this system. For the systematic parameter optimization of the PI controller, the gradient-based optimization algorithm is applied. The performance of optimized parameters is evaluated using simulation and experimental test. These results show that the proposed systematic optimal tuning method improve the transient performances of this system.
