In this paper, we presented a study on the design of permanent magnet rotor for exterior rotor type brushless direct current(BLDC) motor. To reduce the cogging torque and torque ripple, the specific shape and magnetization pattern of permanent magnets in BLDC motors are suggested. Firstly, four permanent magnet models with different shapes and magnetization arrays are presented. The results from the finite element method(FEM), the most effective model for reducing cogging torque and torque ripple was presented. In addition, to confirm the steady state performance, the torque-speed characteristic analysis has been performed with variable speed and load. Finally, the best permanent magnet model for reducing cogging torque and torque ripple with appropriate torque-speed performance was selected through the comparison according to the device volume.

We studied on the fires about the electrical motors in this paper. We compared and analyzed about the transformation and damage state of single-phase induction motors used in the home appliances when we applied electrical overload and exterior flame. This experiment was progressed by the electrical overload application test and the exterior flame application test through the locked rotor of motor. In case of the exterior flame application test, it is divided into the apply voltage case and not apply voltage case. The result of an experiment through the locked rotor of motor, it was able to observe the short-circuit marks between layers at the winding coil parts, and it was appeared a transformed dendritic tissue structure of winding coil by the electrical overload test. The application voltage and the application exterior flame, it was confirmed that the stator winding coil parts were remain original shapes and observed that the color of the winding coil's circumference was changed to red. The non-application voltage and the application exterior flame, it was observed that the stator winding coil parts were transformed quite from original shapes. It was observed that the color of the winding coil and circumference parts was changed to red at the same case of non-application voltage.

This paper describes the effect of eddy currents in the rotor steel shell of exterior-rotor permanent magnet BLDC motor of which rotor is revolving at a high speed. A two-dimensional time-stepping finite element method is used for analyzing electromagnetic field and computing performances of the motor. As a result the effect of the eddy currents in the rotor steel shell is shown by comparing the analysis results from both the proposed method and the conventional one.

In this paper a comparison of the initial rotor position estimation methods by two type search coils for switched reluctance motor(SRM) is presented. The experimental results of the two methods show that the interior central pole search coil method has better performance than the exterior pole search coil method. The reason of the discrepancy in performance is described.

In order to verify the lift enhancement of the 2D hydrofoil with trailing edge rotor and check the ability of its practical use, experimental studies were conducted in the caviation tunnel using the test model with NACA0020 section. The three-component forces acting on the model could be measured by exclusively designed sting type multi-component load cell. The trailing edge of the model has been replaced with rotor which could be controlled by DC servo motor installed at the exterior of the tunnel. A typical effect of the trailing edge rotor has been introduced among the systematic experiments on various angular deviation of the model and the rotational velocity of the trailing edge rotor. It is appeared that the circulation control effect could be easily adjusted by selecting the rotational velocity of the trailing edge rotor and the lift force was augmented more than two times. Thus the proposed lifting device could be utilized as a novel high lifting device which has adjustability of lift force.

This paper presents a comparison of the characteristics by two types of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives using search coils, Exterior pole search coil and Interior central pole search coil, which are used for estimation of the rotor position. The advantages and disadvantages of the two types of drive methods are also described.

The canned motor of 3-phase induction is used for main coolant pump(MCP). The type of motor is canned-motor that stator and rotor are welded by sealed can. So, cooling water flows in the air gap of the canned motor as an independent cycling cooling system from the air gap to yoke of the motor to prevent high temperature of stator can and to lubricate bearing. Heat exchange is occurred between cooling water in the air gap and cooling water from the exterior pump to prevent rising of temperature in the motor. I has to analyze the characteristics of can exactly because the loss and the heat in the can are very important to design MCP. Therefore, thermal analysis is studied considering the effect of eddy-current los induced in the can.
