This paper presents a novel prototype of dual mode control based phase shift ZVS PWM high frequency load resonant inverter with lossless snubber capacitors in addition to a single active auxiliary resonant snubber for electromagnetic induction heating(IH) foam metal based consumer fluid dual packs(DPA) heater. The operating principle in steady state and unique features of this voltage source soft switching high frequency inverter circuit topology are described in this paper. The lossless snubber and auxiliary active resonant snubber assisted constant frequency phase shift ZVS PWM high frequency load resonant inverter employing IGBT power modules actually is capable of achieving zero voltage soft commutation over a widely specified power regulation range from full power to low power. The steady state operating performances of this dual mode phase shift PWM series load resonant high frequency inverter are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results for induction heated foam metal heater which is designed for compact and high efficient moving fluid heating appliance in the consumer pipeline systems.

This paper proposes a utility parallel processing inverter system, which consists of a voltage source PWM inverter, isolation transformer and a reactor linking the inverter to utility line. This system realizes following functions : (1) voltage phase frequency and amplitude synchronization between inverter and utility line at stand-alone mode. (2) current phase synchronization between inverter and load at parallel mode. Therefore, despite sudden increase in load current over setting point at stand-alone mode, inverter system can be transferred into parallel mode immediately without transient current. Furthermore, high frequency(18KHz) PWM control and sinusoidal filtering improve the inverter output waveform by eliminating high order harmonic components as well as low order. As a switching device, IGBT is used for high frequency switching and large current capacity.

A current controlled VSI-PWM rectifier and inverter with capacitor dc link is regarded as one of the most promising structures for three-phase to three-phase to three-phase power conversion. This type of converter normally requires twelve switches for a rectifier and inverter composed of self turn-off switch such as a bi-polar transistor or IGBT with an anti-parallel diode. In this paper, a new three-phase to three-phase converter for ac motor drives is proposed. The proposed converter employs only eight switches and has the capability of delivering sinusoidal input currents with unity power factor and bidirectional power flow. This paper describes the feasibility and the operational limitations of the proposed structure. A mathematical model of the system is derived using generalized modulation theory and experimental results for steady state and dynamic behavior are presented to verify the developed model.

The winding insulation of low-voltage induction motors in adjustable-speed drive system with voltage-fed Inverters is substantially stressed due to the uneven voltage distribution and excessive voltage stress (dv/dt), which result in the premature insulation breakdown In this paper, the detailed insulation test results of 26 low-voltage induction motors are presented. Six different types of insulation techniques are applied to 26 motors. The insulation characteristics are analyzed with partial discharge, discharge inception voltage, AC current, and dissipation factor tests Also, insulation breakdown tests by high voltage pulses are performed, and the corresponding breakdown voltages obtained.

전동기의 제어기법과 제어기 등의 발달로 유도전동기는 산업용으로 널리 보급되고 있으며, 유도전동기를 고효율로 제어하기 위하여 PWM 인버터가 널리 사용되고 있다. 그리고 IGBT와 같은 고속 스위칭 소자의 발달로 인해 전압형 PWM 인버터의 스위칭 주파수가 증가가 가능하게 됐으며, 그로 인해 매우 우수한 동작 특성을 가지게 되었다. 그러나 고속 스위칭은 전압과 전류의 급격한 변화로 인해 매 스위칭마다 발생하는 고주파 성분의 커먼 모드전압과 전류를 발생하게 되고 이들은 베어링 전류와 축전압, 전도 및 방사 EMI, 기기의 절연수명 단축, 등의 악영향을 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 커먼 모드 전압과 전류에 대한 시스템 레벨 해석이 가능한 시뮬레이션 기법에 대해 실제 측정과 시뮬레이션을 통해 검정하였다. 이를 통해서 커먼 모드 전압과 전류가 PWM 인버터 시스템의 각 부에 미치는 영향을 쉽게 확인 할 수 있으며, 커먼 모드 전압과 전류의 저감을 위해 추가될 수 있는 부가적인 보조회로의 영향에 대해서도 제시된 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 확인 할 수 있다.
