본 논문은 메탈할라이드 램프용 고주파 변조방식 전자식 안정기에 관한 것이다. 제안한 안정기는 고주파 영역에서 동작되며 외부 점화기 없이 LC 공진회로를 이용하여 램프를 기동시키므로 매우 컴팩트하며, 통상의 저주파식 전자식 안정기에 비하여 효율이 좋다. 제안하는 안정기는 공명현상을 회피하기 위하여 20kHz에서 100kHz 범위 내에서 변조되는 주파수로 제어된다. 본 논문에서는 안정기 특성을 평가하기 위하여 새로운 실시간 공명현상 검출기를 제안하였다. 또한 직류단 전류 검출을 통한 무부하 검출 알고리즘 및 전력제어 알고리즘에 대하여 기술하였다. 그리고 제안하는 방법을 적용한 프로토타입의 150W 메탈할라이드 램프 안정기로 수행된 실험결과를 검토하였다.

일반적으로 전동차 보조전원장치의 출력전원 품질에 영향을 주는 주된 요인으로는 짧은 시간동안의 진폭변조로 인한 전압플리커 현상과 전동차 내부의 공기압축기 및 냉난방 환기장치 등 대용량 전동기의 반복적인 구동 등을 들 수 있다. 본 연구는 전동차내의 형광등의 전원과 관련된 플리커 현상에 대해 내장재 개조 후 형광등 32W와 개조 전 40W를 입력전원(AC220V)의 변동에 따른 광 출력(밝기) 로서 계측 비교하였다. 또한, 전압변동을 유발하는 부하변동의 주된 요인을 파악하기 위해 전동차 운행시간과 운행밀도를 고려하여 플리커 현상을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 개조 후 형광등 32W에 비해 40W 형광등이 입력전원의 변화에 대해 육안인식정도 측면에서는 20.26% 정도 덜 민감하게 반응함을 알 수 있었으며, 심한 플리커가 일어나는 전압의 경우도 19.9%로 더 낮게 측정되었다. 또한, 운행차량의 부하변동 영향에 있어서는 주로 영업차량의 운행밀도가 높고, 이용승객이 많은 혼합시간대에 보조전원장치(SIV)의 출력전압 변동으로 인한 객실형광등 플리커가 발생된다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 더불어, 전동차 이용승객이 육안으로 형광등의 깜박임을 민감하게 느낄 수 있는 가능 주파수대역으로서 $8Hz{\sim}15Hz$ 임을 확인하였다.

Vehicle lightings are very important for safe driving during night time. Since the eye recovery time after an exposure to oncoming headlights would take after several seconds, the aiming point of vehicle head lamps have to pass safety requirements. Despite the fact that vehicle inclination is variable with vehicle load conditions, the head lamps aiming point is usually fixed at a constant position which is set by car manufacturer. Consequently, vehicle head lamps under varying load conditions often make people in the opposing vehicle uncomfortable, and even worse, can cause an accident. This paper presents an active vehicle lighting mechanism to automatically adjust its aiming point, or cut-off line, in order to compensate the change in vehicle inclination resulting from load variations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a set of simulations and experiments with a real vehicle.

Power supply technique for electrodeless lamps, especially Endura of Osram, is presented in this paper. The power supply uses a conventional power factor correction technique due to its proved performance. But in the inverter stage, resonant converter with parallel loading scheme is used to mitigate the variation of matching circuit characteristics by time varying load. Less performance but sufficient to predict future success compared to Osram's one is verified as a result of experiment of the prototype.

This paper presents the design and implementation of an improved cascaded multilevel inverter topology with asymmetric DC sources. This experimental inverter topology is a stand-alone system with simulations and experiments performed using resistance loads. The topology uses four asymmetric binary DC sources that are independent from each other and one H-bridge. The topology was simulated using PSIM software before an actual prototype circuit was tested. The proposed topology was shown to be very efficient. It was able to generate a smooth output waveform up to 31 levels with only eight switches. The obtained simulation and experimental results are almost identical. In a 1,200W ($48.3{\Omega}$) resistive load application, the THDv and efficiency of the topology were found to be 1.7% and 97%, respectively. In inductive load applications, the THDv values were 1.1% and 1.3% for an inductive load ($R=54{\Omega}$ dan L=146mH) and a 36W fluorescent lamp load with a capacitor connected at the dc bus.

This paper is a study to dectect the tracking owing to deterioration of indoor wiring, and to prevent the electrical fire. After analysing the harmonics of waveshapes in load current and tracking current by FFT, a method of identifying the tracking was developed by using neural network. Fluoscent lamp, witch was mostly used in indoor, was chosen as the load used in this study. When the learning number in neural network was more then 30,000 times, an excellent neural net-work which could correctly identify the tracking was established. Therefore, the result of this study can be utilized as a basic material in various measuring instruments, such as an hotline inslation tester, earth tester in vehicles, and tracking fire alarm device, witch can detect the tracking under the condition of hotline.

Recently, the occurrences of electrical fire have been suppressed by an earth leakage breaker(ELB), a no fuse breaker(NFB) and a fuse in case of an earth leakage, a short circuit and an over current. But it is impossible for the ELB to break the circuit in the case of the failure of pressure contacts on connecting points and the momentary short circuit. Therefore, it is require to study the constructive problem of the ELB. In this paper, we have developed the auxiliary control device, electrical fire prevention control device(EFPCD), of the ELB. And we have tested the operation characteristics of the ELB according to the load(R, L) As a result of this experiment, we could prevent the electrical fire due to the spark and the overheat occurring in the failure of pressure contacts on connecting points and the momentary short circuit.

This paper presents a new method on how to calculate the thrust forces acting on an auto-leveling device in headlamps for passenger vehicles. The leveling device is used to lower the angle of lights when a load in the trunk of the vehicle lifts it. In the process of the headlamp design, it is imperative to predict the external forces so that the designers can decide whether to proceed or not. The device is composed of three pivot joints with no reaction moment, a plate that holds the lamp, and a leveling motor that changes rotation to linear motion. In this study, force balance, moment balance, and geometric compatibility are applied to the leveling device system so that a nonlinear system of equations can be derived; the multi-dimensional Newton-Raphson algorithm is then used to solve these. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to verify which design variables affect the system the most: the mass of the lamp and the height between the pivot and leveling device affect the thrust forces the most. Then, considering the friction forces between the moving parts, the hysteresis of the forces are derived. An experimental apparatus, designed and developed in this study, is used to verify the exactness of the derived equations. The results from experiments coincide well with the calculated results. The friction hysteresis, in particular, proves this upon analysis.
